I have booked Rydges Latimer several times over many years thru hotels.com Parking has always been “ available” and Free. This time it was $25 per night. But you only find that out when you arrive. So be warned. If you have a car, add $25 per night to the charge. Because the hotel doesn’t tell you that before you book.
