The property does not have enough parking for guests and uses a first in first serve approach to the car spaces they do have available. When the parking filled up, no one advised us prior to our arrival. The overflow car parking is an extra charge and a considerable walk from the hotel (when you consider carrying bags). Overall, the hotel itself is lovely, but this experience with the parking made the stay frustrating and tainted.

I loved the experience so much, lovely quiet room , good food with everything I could need. Bed probably a bit soft for me, but perhaps I should have mentioned I like a firmer bed. I also loved the staff showing me the quickest way to the QPAC and because of that I felt very safe coming back to the hotel at night. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The gym had a terrible smell and the pool was very cold. The floors didn’t look very clean.

Recently I stayed at Novotel with two young children. The staff were extremely kind and helpful, the room was comfortable and pleasant and the breakfast had a great selection and service was professional and friendly. Would definitely return and would highly recommend.

Check in was slow. We waited at least 20 minutes with the reception staff busy attending to lost property. Our receptionist at check in was friendly and helpful, and apologetic about the delay. Our room was comfortable and clean. And the hotel overall was well maintained. I asked reception for a dental kit (in person) and rather than just providing one, the receptionist said she’d have one sent to the room. 5 hours later, no dental kit. I went down and spoke to the same receptionist who then provided me a dental kit from the drawer…. Directly behind her. Little actions contribute greatly to demonstrating basic hospitality. As someone who travels frequently for work — I can overlook busy check in, or a forgotten amenity. However I would not say overall I was made to feel welcome. More like a both for asking again.
