"It was a pleasant place to stay and well located. Pity though about the honesty about the parking situation. The advertisment says that parking is available. What it doesn't say is it's either meter parking out front or free two streets away. When I enquired about the parking situation before booking nobody bothered to respond. It spoilt an otherwise good experience."
