Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No on-site parking — There is no parking at the property. Guests arriving by car will need to find public parking or use the paid airport shuttle service — worth planning ahead.
- Compact rooms — Some guests note the studios are small and cramped, though the clever use of space is appreciated. If you prefer generous square footage, check the larger apartment options.
- No pets allowed — The property has a strict no-pets policy, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
