The hotel offers parking in their own garage, but the Q-Park garage is more or less right below the property, a quick elevator ride to the Malakoff Passage and if you have a key card, you can access the hotel via the conference center entrance. Street parking is mostly residents only, but there are some spots around 300-400m away from the property.

The TV stand is an original Interluebke piece, the sofas/chairs are Mies van der Rohe designs by Walter Knoll. The TV stand is a brilliant piece of upscale furniture design, but indeed a bit out of fashion, same with the Black Trinitron 16/9 CRT TV's by Sony and the selection of TV channels, which is way too limited ( a general Hyatt problem in Germany )

In general, the Regency Mainz is probably still superior to 90-95% of all properties on US soil, but a light renovation would make it more comparable with Cologne or Duesseldorf.
