We booked this really close to time and we ended up with breakfast included, which was great this time. We also asked for extended parking time, which I suspect we paid extra for, even though I had rung especially to ask and thought that it was fine. That said, we didn't have to worry about inner city parking while we shopped.

Room with river/bridge view was lovely. Stayed one night comfortable bed and quiet. Walking distance to the main area with many choices of restaurants. A nice breakfast at hotel, did not have any other meals at the hotel. Paying for parking was worth the price after along day of driving.
