Worth weighing

- Parking not specified — INPUT does not list parking as an amenity, so guests driving may need to arrange alternatives.
- Check-in window ends at 23:59 — Late arrivals after midnight cannot check in until the next day, which might inconvenience some travellers.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
