Comfortable stay

Water pressure of the shower head was rather low. Our room was beside the road and we could hear external sound and movement. We had booked a junior suite and parking was included, but this was not conveyed to us. We had parked at a free parking space about 7 minutes away and it was very cold and slippery walking over. Only when we decided to pay and park in the underground garage on the second day that we were informed that complimentary parking was provided with our room type. This could be communicated to us during check in. In addition, the entrance and exit to the garage was very tight. If any traveller decides to park there, will need to bear in mind the space. Other than the above, room was clean and relatively spacious.

I liked the bakery And the restaurant at at the entry of the hotel. Only one comfortable Chair in mini suite… No place to put bathroom items. Small things, not at all important, but enough to give 4 instead of 5 stars. I would stay there again.
