Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited on-site parking details — The hotel offers a car park and an off-site car park, but specifics like cost or reservation are not confirmed here.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this property isn't an option — the policy is clear.
  • Check-in window starts at 13:00 — If you arrive early, you may need to wait or use the luggage storage, as check-in doesn't begin until the afternoon.
