Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Basic amenities — The room and hotel offerings are minimal — no pool, gym, or on-site restaurant. The amenity list is short, so don’t expect extra frills.
  • No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking among its amenities, which could be a hassle for guests arriving by car.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:30, which may be tight for late arrivals.
