  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, which may be a limitation for some travellers.
  • Mixed review on accessibility — While a wheelchair-accessible room is mentioned, one guest rated the experience lower, suggesting some aspects may not meet all expectations.
  • Small, independent property — Occupying only two floors, the scale is limited, which might mean fewer on-site facilities compared to larger hotels.
