the location offered nice views from the premises.

I was disappointed by the limited parking available. I ended up parking quite a distance from the hotel. this was inconvenient and a little frustrating. accessible parking was often taken by those without permits.

Parking was only available on the street. I saw a disabled parking spot about 50 meters away that was often used by people without blue badges. Our room was two full flights of stairs up with a handrail on only one side.
