The hotel was in an interesting and historic building, and the room was clean and functional. Parking was a nightmare, but the proximity to shops and dining can’t be beat. It is a great location to see the city and everything is walkable.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Though the staff was quick to check in. I was so disappointed and frustrated about the parking situation. Upon arrival the “free parking” that the hotel had on their website was limited to a mere 7-10 parking stalls that was shared with the train station and taxi services. Upon asking where do we park, we were told to go down the road to a parkade to keep the car and walk back to the hotel for our stay. I was also told to wait until 6/7 pm and then there should be more areas to park. My husband and I waited and again, there was no parking. We had to return to the parkade and pay for parking and was not compensated for it. For a hotel that says “free parking” it should say limited free parking and then give customers some sort of compensation for parking costs overnight. The hotel itself is nice. Right in the middle of lots of shopping and restaurants. Besides of few sea gulls you can hear out the window, it was quiet. The room was a decent size, the bathroom was cleanish except a few rust spots. The heater im the room was pretty nasty looking with lots of wear. Beds were good though!

There was a peculiar unpleasant smell in the lobby. Depending on your room the seagulls will be an unwelcome alarm. Reception staff were awesome. Located directly next to train station and close to bus station if that is a necessity for you.
