Travelers beware: This place has ZERO parking onsite. There are parkades (paid parking lots & garages) nearby, but some are not open on weekends or after 6-8pm. The Hotel charges $18CAD to park in a contracted parking garage about 3 blocks away. The hours are very inconvenient and you need a key card to get both IN AND OUT (Weekends and after 10pm especially). The worst part is that they only have 1 key card for the garage for the whole hotel… So you have to get the key card, walk to get your car, and come and return the key card for others to use. Also, Government street is closed by the city from 12(noon) to 10pm for vehicle traffic. It’s pedestrian’s only, which makes getting to the hotel a HUGE nightmare. There’s a small “hotel zone” that’s kiddy corner to the hotel for guests to park, but unless it’s early morning or late night, you won’t be able to use it as it’s taken by waiting taxi’s and non hotel guests.
The hotel room we got had a fireplace. It was cute and had lots of old world charm. Keep in mind this is one of the older hotels in the city. We had no complaints on the room. We stayed on the second floor and didn’t hear much of the loud music as mentioned in a lot of the other reviews.
Upon check in, the front desk receptionist was helpful with explaining the parking situation, but it was still very frustrating and confusing. If you have mobility issues and cannot walk a lot, I would avoid this hotel. The parking experience just ruined it for us. :(
