Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited room types — Only two suite categories are offered — Junior and Family — so travellers may find fewer options than at larger hotels.
  • Check-in window may be restrictive — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:00, which could be inconvenient for late-night arrivals.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — Parking details are not provided, so guests arriving by car should plan ahead (street parking may be limited in the centre).
  • Indoor pool may be small — The hotel lists a 'plunge pool' as an amenity, suggesting the indoor pool is compact rather than a full-sized lap pool.
