Good, but parking option terrible

The room was very nice, as described. Value for money was right. Fabulous location. Unfortunately we had a really bad experience with parking. Very low ceiling of a public parking facility only reachable on 3rd floor with lift from hotel, we were not allowed to park on designated 3rd floor due to cleaning, and other floors were not reachable but to walk over ramps (outside access to stairs was closed) where cars drive, very unsafe. Not only very low ceilings, but the tightest parking spaces I’ve ever encountered. Out of necessity and slow efforts was I able to park. But doors couldn’t be opened anymore.

Great stay, could use better beds.

All around a great stay. Clean, great service and accommodating staff. The beds were ok, not terrible, but could be a little more comfortable and a little firmer. You have to eat at the Albion in the hotel lobby. Great food and amazing staff. I highly recommend the charcuterie board.

Room was clean and roomy, well laid out. Nice access to parking. Only small snag was all of the provided face towels in the bathroom had hairs embedded in them (don’t think this was the room service’s fault, I’m guessing it’s whoever does the folding/laundry processing)
