About

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Wi-Fi can be unreliable — At least one guest reported poor connection, so plan for spotty internet in some areas.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with an animal, this isn't the place - the policy is strictly no pets.
- Check-in ends at 11:30 PM — Late arrivals need to plan ahead, as the reception closes at 23:30.
- Breakfast not particularly notable — One guest described it as satisfactory, so don't expect a spread - but it's included.
