Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 16:00 and 21:00, which can be tight if your travel plans run late.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
  • Single room type only — Only one room category is listed — the Japanese-Style Suite — so options for varying budgets or group sizes are limited.
  • No on-site parking listed — Parking is not mentioned in the property's policies, so you may need to rely on nearby public lots or alternative transport.
