Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The hotel's policy explicitly prohibits pets, so guests traveling with animals will need to make other arrangements.
- All rooms are non-smoking — The entire property is smoke-free, which may be limiting for smokers who prefer a room where they can light up.
- Check-in starts at 3 PM — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, so early arrivals may need to wait or store luggage elsewhere.
