Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The hotel doesn't list parking among its amenities, so guests arriving by car will need to find street or paid parking nearby.
  • Pets not allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so travellers with animals should look elsewhere.
  • Facilities are basic — The facilities rating is the lowest category, and the amenities list is lean—no gym or spa, for instance.
  • Check-in starts at 15:00 — If you arrive early, you may need to wait or store your luggage until the 3 PM check-in window.
