Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking, and as a historic property in the city center, street parking is likely limited. Guests may need to use nearby public lots.
- Adults-only policy may not suit families — While one guest mentioned staying with their son, the hotel's amenities state 'Adults only,' so it may not accept children in general—check before booking with kids.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in window is late afternoon — Check-in starts at 15:00 and runs until 23:59, which could be inconvenient for early arrivals, though 24-hour reception offers some flexibility once you're in.
