I like the homely feel about the place and the fact that it is a heritage building - so, so much more interesting than the usual chain hotels. I have mentioned it to staff but it would benefit from at least one level 2 ev charger as more and more people drive evs and are looking for an overnight charge at their accommodations. The breakfast is unfortunately the usual fare offered by most hotels these days.

Excellent location. However staff were very rude and unhelpful. Our room had an airconditioning unit right over the bed that sounded like a jet engine taking off all night. It could not be turned off. When i called reception a very rude staff person just said it is a setting for the whole floor and could not be changed. No sleep at all.

Historic building, tastefully renovated and right in the heart of downtown. Generally clean with a good shower / hot tub and heated floors in bathroom was a nice addition. However, no after-hours dining, and not even a real coffee cup in the room to enjoy tea/coffee. Minimalist, bordering on cheap does not marry well with a hotel claiming a 'boutique' moniker.

Great value and beautiful room.

Had a few days here just before Christmas. The first room was lovely and spacious and quite comfy. The air ducts over the door were making a loud noise so I switched rooms for the second and third nights. Second room was super quiet and very nice but the pillows and bed covers were worn and could use replacing. Amazing bathrooms with huge showers, amazing water pressure and hot air towel dryers that was a nice touch. I would stay here again. Great value and great location, central to the downtown bar and club areas as well as close to shopping and the harbor front.
