Overall our stay was pleasant, the only downfall is parking, not enough spaces even though you have to pay per day, and it is t cheap, there is no guarantee a space, you then have to park at another car park at a different location and walk back to the hotel with all your luggage.

Nice hotel, lovely amenities. Unfortunately their parking situation is terrible. No parking spaces available so we had to park 3 blocks away… and we have a newborn. Not sure why this is.

Silke

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Room cleaning service only on day 3 after expressly asking for it. Hallway was never cleaned during our stay. Beds were ripped. Very limited car parking on site so we had to park in a car park offsite. Restaurant was good. Breakfast could do with more variety at the buffet, e.g. only one type of cheese, no margarine and no interesting breads such as sourdough was provided.
