This hotel is a bit of a gem. It's an older hotel that has been somewhat updated which actually makes it a little eclectic. I really liked that! The rooms where clean, but our windows where not. I basically kept the blinds closed. The bed and linens were very comfy. The hotel has a pub, restaurant and a cafe. You couldn't ask for more. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

The front staff were all so friendly and the restaurants attached were yummy, that’s about the only good thing about this hotel. The rooms were super outdated, the beds were not comfortable at all, and the parking situation was ridiculous. There was very limited parking or you had to pay. I paid nearly $700 to stay there only to also have to pay for parking, or just not be at the hotel until 9pm at night and make sure I’m out before 9am so I didn’t get a ticket. Don’t even get complimentary breakfast for the price it is to stay there.

Great Receptionist

Ashley was at the front desk when I arrived. She gave me the room key early since the room was ready, and she offered excellent suggestions on places I might enjoy going for a walk. Ashley made me feel very welcome, and greeted me by name every time I walked by the front desk.

Pedal Biked to the Hotel

It was nice to be downtown, was told by the staff there would be bike parking inside when made the reservation, not so much when we arrived and had to put bikes in our room. Was quiet and communal area with refrigerator was nice.

Good location. As advertised it is a backpackers hotel, and may be aimed more at that clientele . We missed there being no fridges and procedure to turn TV on defeated our group. Staff was good and condition of rooms were good

For the price, the hotel was awesome! Clean, good service, awesome restaurants at the bottom, super cool lounge area with a sauna! Only problem was the super hard bed, mattress could be replaced ! And pressure on shower and water a bit stronger! Great for 1-2 nights if you recover from back soreness quick!

The location is perfectly centred right in the town. The building is old and has character which I like, but best of all it’s very clean! The staff were very friendly and helpful. It’s my second day there and I would certainly stay there again!
