Worth weighing

3 to weigh

  • No pets allowed — Those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere, as the hotel enforces a strict no-pets policy.
  • No on-site dining beyond breakfast — While the breakfast receives positive comments, the hotel only offers vending machines and a TV room, so you'll need to head out for other meals.
