Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book the one-level Secretary Suite if stairs are a concern; all other rooms are accessible via 21 steps to the second floor.

  • 02

    Request a ground-floor room if mobility is a consideration; only one room with a king bed is on the main level.

  • 03

    Plan to arrive between 15:00 and 19:00; late arrivals up to 20:00 are possible if communicated in advance.
