Not very accommodating, very dirty commons area, would not dare to have coffee or eat anything in there. No room in the little common fridge to put anything. It was filled with lots of old food. Two of the bathrooms were very dirty as well. The room was OK not much to report there. Saw very little of the staff who didn’t seem to be bothered. If you left your room door open, the cat would come in and make itself comfortable.

It was cluttered with pictures and made me feel that if there was a fire I wouldn’t make it out alive, The beds were clean and the sheets. The bathroom was clean. Floors were sticky. Too much stuff everywhere.

Welcoming staff but building was not clean and very crowded with furniture and “stuff” everywhere. Chair in the room had ripped fabric, used towel in our bathroom, dead flies in bathroom light fixture. Our bed seemed clean.

Night in an art museum.

This is a quaint old building. It’s like being in a museum. Art lovers will be entertained for hours. People are friendly and welcoming. The sheets were clean. The washcloth was stained. They should switch to dark colours. It may be the water. The room was dusty. This could have happened when the window was opened. Don’t expect fancy. It has a 70s laid-back vibe. We upgraded to private bathroom. That was Not clear on the booking site. Breakfast was fruit cups and pudding. Chill out and go with the flow.

Small town delight

The front desk guy was extra helpful and made my stay. An old hotel that does not lack for knick-knacks. If you need an elevator or TV keep looking. I will stay there again.

When we last saw this hotel 14 years ago, it was very well-kept with a nice restaurant serving delicious food & drinks, and unique rooms with interesting artwork abounding. We came back this time to find the restaurant no longer in operation. The rooms are still unique, but the towels are old and thread-bare. The room was clean, but the ‘breakfast room’ and TV rooms were very dirty. The outside areas of the hotel have garbage all around. We should have stayed 14 years ago.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Decided to stay here because of the history and thought it might be interesting, but found it to be merely and old hotel with worn out furniture. Many of the rooms were not in use and full of junk. Arrived and was told that my room did not have a private bath but would have to walk to one down the hall (Not mentioned when I made the reservation or on the Hotel.com web site). For an extra much inflated fee I could upgrade to a room with a private bath. Stay was definately not what I expected from Hotel.com site. I i was in the asrea again I would not plan on staying here.

The manager was super friendly and easy going. Our room was upgraded at reception and was perfect for us, even travelling with two dogs. The price was reasonable and the area is nice and quiet with access to the Trans Canada trail nearby to walk the dogs. The artwork is the coolest pet. A very unique place out of the way. I would stay there again and recommend to others.
