Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms are on the basic side — While comfortable, rooms are straightforward – some reviewers note they are basic or of decent size but without frills. Those seeking luxury may want to look elsewhere.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for travelers wanting to bring their dog or cat.
  • Check-in starts at 4 PM — The earliest check-in is 16:00, which might not suit everyone arriving earlier and hoping to drop bags immediately (though luggage storage is available).
