Visiting from America, checked in on a Wednesday night, barking is free and underground but limited. Limited. Unsure if there's other parking. Breakfast was included for us and tasted great, hot and cold food, overlooking the river area. The room was absolutely clean and quiet, the bed was very comfortable. The staff were great on our check-in and the same Ladies were there when we checked out the next day. We would definitely stay here again, this is priced Right.
