Good hotel in great location with free on site parking. Our room was very spacious with a seating area and fireplace! However, it was little dark. Location was good, right in the centre of things. The only down side was breakfast which was meagre and uninspiring. How about providing at least a toaster, bread, jam and butter? Costco muffins don’t hit the spot.

The hotel was in a great location only a block away from George Street. Dining options were plentiful. Free parking in a downtown location was a bonus. The hotel had a lot of character, e.g. beamed ceilings. Free continental breakfast was appreciated.

Great historic building with lots of charm. It was very convenient. We were in room 211 and could hear all convos directly above us clear as day. Very dark dated room. We stayed for 3 nights and on the 1st morning we complained that the door latch plate was broken and nobody came to fix it. Lastly the breakfast was a disaster. Tiny room so never a spot to sit. No plates or trays. No bowls for instant porridge and even if you made it in the paper coffee cups there were only individual milks for coffee to put on it.

Great stay as usual. Breakfast is basic but what you would enjoy as a cold breakfast. Rooms are a little noisy but always great service and right in the heart of downtown.

A great boutique hotel well located to drive around or just walk, it was too bad that the view was ruined by the restaurants across the street though. Why they were allowed to be built there is sad. But the stay was awesome would definitely go back.

If this hotel had HVAC from this century it would have been an excellent stay. 71 decibels (blow dryer / vacuum level). It ran all night the first night so we asked to be moved. The second night it only ran for 15 minutes every hour. Still tough to sleep.
