The parking was a bit confusing as i turned into a gated lot and did not have room key with me. I hadnt checked in yet. The gate wouldn't raise and i couldnt back out onto a busy street. Then magically for no explained reason it opened. This was on the lobby level,entrance on side. The bar has a limited menu for breakfast. Better bet is to visit Tim Horton's across the street
