Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Adults-only policy may exclude families — The hotel does not accept children, so it's not suitable for those traveling with kids.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, you'll need to look elsewhere — the hotel has a strict no-pets policy.
- Check-in window is limited to evenings — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight won't be accommodated.
- Small double rooms may be tight for two — One of the room types is labeled 'Small Double Room,' which suggests limited space for couples or those with extra luggage.
