The hotel has plenty of parking which is great the service from staff was excellent they couldn’t do enough for you there is so many different options for eating in the hotel with prices that are reasonable for where you are there was only one thing that I was angry about was there was a charity ball event on and we had to go up in the lift walk a while through the hotel take another lift down and then walk through the hotel again to get to our room I have heart problems and I would have preferred if we had been told about the charity ball being on and I would have booked for the week later
