It's a great location and friendly reception staff. You need to book through the hotel directly to get complimentary parking though - not made clear on the WotIf site. Be aware there is building renovation work happening that reduces the number of car spaces and makes manoeuvring into a car space difficult - and can be noisy during the day in the rooms.
