Location was good. Rooms were small, the “fireplace” didn’t give off heat, definitely just for ambience. Room was considered deluxe but seemed pretty standard. Not many cable channels but we were able to stream Netflix through our phone which was good to drown out the noise of the pub that was directly below.

My husband and I stayed for one night in an economy Queen. It was clean and well planned out. Staff at the front desk were very friendly, kind and helpful they were really nice to speak with. The bar and restaurant attached were fantastic. We arrived late so had dinner in the bar. Pizza was incredible as were the little pork ribs bites. Overall the hotel was great and I would definitely stay there again but next time I would get a bigger room. It’s a beautiful heritage building right downtown walkable to everything.

Upon check-in we were told the room I booked was over the bar and there was karaoke until midnight. The room was booked over a month ago with no disclosure about this. There was no other rooms we could move to. Very disappointing. We were up early to get on the road with very little sleep. Disappointing as the hotel is in an excellent location and the rooms were clean and updated.

Older property that has had some upgrades to the rooms. Positives: Room was clean, comfortable bed and nice new shower. No coffee, microwave or fridge in the room but these can be found in the guest lounge. Coffee was much better than most complimentary hotel brew. Patio area is a nice spot to relax, though it is set up for smokers so might not be for everyone if you’re not fond of the smell of cigarettes. Front desk and cleaning staff were quite friendly. Great location close to pretty much everything you want to see in downtown. Lots of nearby dining and shopping options. Not so positives: Parking at the hotel is very limited and the area around the hotel can be extremely busy, so be prepared for a walk to get to the hotel. Not sure if there is daily parking somewhere close by because all street parking is metered during the week. This is a noisy property. The bar below is open until 11 most nights and is especially loud on karaoke nights (Saturday) which go until midnight. If outside sound is an issue book through the hotel and make sure your room is away from the bar. Unfortunately there is no escaping the extremely squeaky floors. If you’re not alone, it’s impossible to not disturb the other person if you get up early or get in late. Lastly, the bathroom window is not frosted or tinted so if anyone in any of the nearby condos has a voyeuristic personally you’re somewhat exposed. Not a comfortable feeling. Highly recommend the hotel invest in some tinting film.

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.
