- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking facilities, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby.
- Limited facilities — The hotel's facilities score is low (2.5), indicating a minimal set of on-site amenities beyond the basics.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 23:59, so late-night arrivals may need to arrange alternative plans.
