Bridget

Disliked: Staff & service

Incorrect information given reference parking

Received an email 2 days prior to staying stating they only have 6 parking spots but suggesting street parking, advising street sweeping on Mondays from 1am-5am. This is incorrect-it is Tuesday. At least 9 of us received hefty parking citations as there is NOT a "no parking/street sweeping" sign posted which I will take up with the city, however if the facility is going to send out an email with information such as this ENSURE IT IS CORRECT.
