The hotel and room were old and worn out. I expected more from a Novotel hotel. It is not a 4 star hotel, maybe 3 stars. Breakfast was also very basic. There was also no staff to help out with the luggage. Parking was ok.

Meh

After checking-in online (being told it would speed things up), we had to check-in all over again at the hotel. The receptionist was unfriendly and, honestly, a bit rude. Not a nice welcome and a waste of 15 minutes. Otherwise, an average hotel. The breakfast was sub-par.

Location is great and the area feels very safe. Very close to the subway station, and lots of restaurant options within walking distance. The hotel itself is fairly modern, and the elevators were always very quick.
