Worth weighing

  • No pets allowed — Travelling with a dog or cat isn’t possible here – stated in the policies.
  • No on-site parking — There’s no mention of parking facilities, so you’ll need to rely on public parking nearby or arrive on foot.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in runs from 13:00 to 22:30, so late arrivals outside these hours won’t be accommodated.
