Nice play to stay

Nice, clean hotel in a great location. Staff were lovely. I'd stay again. Parking next door is pricey though and pillows were a bit lumpy. Take your own pillow if you can.

Parking very convenient to hotel and shopping. Loved the 11am checkout time. One small improvement is that you could specify on your website that the car parking allows you to stay parked until midnight on the day that you checkout as this was not clear when booking - otherwise everything was excellent especially the staff who were quick, efficient and clear with instructions and information.

The novotel was clean and tidy, rooms are compact but fine for a night or two. After hours room service menu was very limited. I needed milk for a baby at 9pm and no convenience store open or nearby. The staff provided a small UHT milk. Shoping and restaurants very close. No hotel parking but you can park in the DFO parking for a fee of $50 however, makes the stay expensive
