Choose NH over Novotel (which is literally round the corner) because of prior good experiences in other NH hotels. Was VERY disappointed when shown room. I understand now why reviews were so vastly different. Some floors are renovated, some are not. BE CAREFUL which room you have! The unrenovated room was terrible with peeling wallpaper. It looked a sorry 2* standard that has seen better days. We paid for the upgrade and got the renovated room ("superior room" vs. "standard room") and it was more like the NH standard we had come to expect. However, the bathroom saw minimal renovation. Silly that they renovated the rooms but did not revamp the bathroom save for doing some cosmetic changes. Old tiles and bath.
New rooms were fine for the price. Breakfast very good, all the standard fare available (rolls, yogurt, juices, fruit, meats, conflakes, bacon, scrambled eggs).
Location good, but it's a small place so most of the hotels are centrally located!
Didn't check out parking but street parking free after 7pm and on Sundays.
