4 to weigh
  • Check-out is early — Guests must be out by 11:00 AM, which can feel rushed for those wanting a slow morning.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in ends at 23:00, so late arrivals may need to plan ahead.

  • Some rooms lack windows — Certain room types, such as the 'Without Window' options, may not suit those who prefer natural light.
