Mixed Experience Due to Parking and Room Issues

The lack of available parking was a significant problem. This resulted in substantial unexpected expenses for external parking. the room showed signs of wear and tear and was not as well-kept as expected.

the front desk staff was very accommodating. the hotel location is excellent for walking to landmarks. breakfast had a great choice of pastries (i loved the croissants). pre-dinner cocktails in the library bar are a must.
the room was cold. it was sold as a triple room but was a double room plus a sofa bed. other furniture was not removed, so it felt crowded. (this was a bit disappointing).
