My sister and I stayed here for only 1 night but we would happily stay here again. The beds were a bit soft but comfortable and we had a nice peaceful sleep. It's a short walk to the harbourfront, lots of great restaurants and quirky shops, and the Bluenose II if you want to see a bit of Canadian history. During check in there is a parking spot right out front, and then the staff located an overnight parking spot for us nearby which I thought was really nice. There is also an elevator for those that need it.

Really nice old property. Owners and staff very nice and helpful. Very quiet inn, didn’t hear a sound from other guests. They could use a carpeting upgrade throughout and new, firmer pillows would be great to match the very comfortable bed. All in all a great experience, thank you!
