Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so plan accordingly if travelling with an animal.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 23:59 – late arrivals outside this window won't be accepted.
  • Valet parking only — Parking is available but only as valet, which may be an extra cost and requires waiting for your car.
  • Some reviews note inconsistency — While most scores are high, 'General' and 'Facilities' come in lower (8.1 and 8.0), and one guest gave a lower rating despite a positive stay.
