  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 15:00, which may be inconvenient if you arrive earlier or later than this one-hour window.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, so if you're traveling with a furry companion, you'll need to make other arrangements.
  • Limited on-site dining — Dining options are limited to a snack bar and bar/lounge area; no full restaurant is listed, so you may need to venture out for main meals.
