Please note that guests under 18 years old are not allowed in shared dormitories and must book a private room. For bookings of 10 or more guests, different policies and additional supplements may apply. Linen is provided for all rooms. Towels are available free of charge at reception. Please note that guests staying in shared rooms or in private rooms with a shared bathroom must have their profile photo taken to proceed with check-in. Please note that renovation work will be carried out from May 25, 2026 to September 10, 2026. Guests may experience some noise or light disturbances from 09:00 to 18:00 on weekdays, and from 10:00 to 17:00 on weekends. Guests are required to show a photo ID and credit card upon check-in. Please note that all Special Requests are subject to availability and additional charges may apply. Please inform of your expected arrival time in advance.

Guests under the age of 18 can only check in with a parent or official guardian. A deposit may be required at the property.
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.

Nothing to do with the booking above. The same market, priced the same way, for if this one is not it.
