The closest parking was 2 blocks away and they forgot to mention when told where the parking was that there was only 6 spaces! Not happy.

"This hotel is great. Loved the location and the staff were super helpful and friendly. The room was large and having a dressing room was very helpful. The value for money was great. The only area for improvement is that the bathroom needs a big clean. The grout was not old but very discoloured and mouldy in areas. "
