Every room has a bath and toilet. The Corner Twin sleeps up to 3 adults, and one of its beds is a trundle bed. There are no extra beds, and the way the beds are built means they cannot be pushed together. Groups of 4 or more need to book 2 or more rooms, and for the Moderate Twin and Executive Twin, rooms next to each other can be arranged. A limited number of Moderate Twins are connecting rooms, which you request when booking. Double beds are 160 cm wide, and each twin bed is 120 cm wide. Barrier-free rooms for wheelchair users are also available. Co-sleeping is free for one child aged 12 and under per adult, but a child aged 12 or under who uses a bed alone pays the adult rate. Children aged 0 to 12 can stay with co-sleeping at one child per bed, which means up to 1 child in a double room and up to 2 in a twin room. To have two children co-sleep, you will need a twin room with its 2 beds. On some plans, babies and young children who use neither meals nor bedding stay free, while elementary school children and babies and young children who use bedding pay 100% of the adult rate; some plans do not accept babies and young children who use bedding. Cribs are for children under 24 months and are free of charge, but numbers are limited, so request one when booking.
