No on-site restaurant
Although there is a venue that looks like a restaurant at the Place Louis Riel, it is only used for breakfast service in the morning. Some guests were disappointed that this room wasn't used throughout the day as a restaurant.

Paid parking
A few guests were upset about having to pay for parking at this hotel. They believed that parking should be included in the price of the room, which isn't the policy that this property uses. Other guests, however, found the price of parking to be reasonable.

Difficult to find
