  • No pets allowed — Travelers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the hotel enforces a strict no-pets policy.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available from 15:00 to 23:00, so late arrivals after 11 PM cannot be accommodated.
  • Street-facing rooms possible — Guests have noted that some double rooms face the street, which could mean more ambient noise.
