Good to know
Check-in starts at 16:00, later than at many hotels, and check-out is until 12:00. Bring photo ID and a credit card for check-in. There are no details about breakfast: ask the hotel whether it is served and at what time. No parking of its own is listed either, so confirm it if you travel by car.
