Love the uniqueness of the building. It's important before people book a room for them to be clear on the parking options available due to limited space front and back of building.

The linens could do with an upgrade (scratchy sheets, lumpy pillows). We chose the property because we wanted to stay in an inn close to downtown and this is a great option. The staff are super friendly -

Charming room and ambience. Paul was extremely helpful and pleasant during our stay in this century-old Inn. Although staff is lovely, room service was a little spotty. Would highly recommend to family and friends.

Oldie world hotel, bedroom was ok, had bath with excellent shower. Wardrobe doors were hanging off, so left them open. Plenty of storage space, coffee maker and fridge, plus 2 bottles of water daily. What let it down? there are no lifts, from the street to the front door and from reception to all floors stairs. And no one to help with your luggage. Not disable friendly. Second thing was the breakfast, it's not cheap to stay in Canada, cereal, fruit juice, bread and bagels, boiled eggs and fruit.. I think one day there was scrambled egg, that disappeared on day 2&3, and watermelon disappeared on day 3. This was supposed to be a continental breakfast??? Worse breakfast I've ever seen. Good location for train and bus station, easy walk into downtown and public gardens and citadel.

Needs some upgrading
This is a very dated property and definitely could use some TLC, the walls are blacked marked in multiple places, there is mold on the dated shower tiles, the shower curtains are in desperate need of replacement (frayed bottoms and mold residue spots are clearly visible) . They advertise that parking is available, but not until you arrive do they tell you they nay have 7 spaces available, and when those are taken (likely by staff) that you are to park across the street at the hospital, or on the side of the road both at your own expense. The layout is very awkward, we were given a room in the basement, so you walk down 2 flights of stairs and then up another set to get to the room (hard to envision) ….otherwise the staff reasonably helpful with directions to stores/restaurants

The staff were friendly and informative when checking into the facility. They provided what turned out to be an excellent dining experience at a nearby restaurant. The Inn was quiet and comfortable.
