Insider tips

When checking in, consider asking for a room key card with a magnetic stripe, as it may be more convenient for accessing the lift and other areas of the hotel. If you have a car, you may be able to park it nearby, but be aware that parking options may be limited in the area, and it's best to ask the hotel staff for guidance on available parking options.
