Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • No pets or parking mentioned — The hotel's policies don't list pet accommodation or on-site parking, so pet owners and drivers may need to plan around this.
  • Check-in window starts at 3 PM — Rooms are available from 15:00, with check-out by noon, so early arrivals will need to store luggage.
  • Smaller rooms in standard categories — Superior and Deluxe Double Rooms don't include a balcony, which some guests may expect given the emphasis on views.
