The valet service is the only eay you can park at the hotel. It is subpar in every respect, always understaffed and crowded. I had them book an appointment to have my car parked out front 3 hours in advance, and they missed it by 15 minutes. There was no in room dining menu, and some of the items on the menu werent available to order anymore.

The room was mostly fine. The walls however seem to be paper thin as we could every conversation (and bathroom visit) of our neighbours. Also, there was no indication that Wilfrid's was going to be closed until we arrived. Big negative not having the restaurant available. It's a great hotel but I've had much better stays there in the past.
