The exterior of the building does not look like a hotel at all but we were pleasantly surprised when we checked into our room. The room was spacious, although the position of the second bed was awkward. It was clean and has everything we wanted. Because it was an old building, the room was not level as we could see the uneven gap between the bathroom door and the floor. The bathroom door could not close properly as a result. Bed was comfortable, fridge worked well. Bathroom was spacious. Keurig coffee machine. Microwave and fridge.

This is a nice place to stay right in the centre of Minden. We arrived late and the pub was closed, but the instructions were clear and we found our way without any problem. Super clean and very comfy bed. No complaints whatsoever. We would stay there again.

Complete over-priced disappointment! Avoid.

The Dominion was the only place available last minute on a long weekend. There was a very good reason for this - it's atrocious. The rooms are tiny, the walls are paper thin (you can hear guests talk in other rooms as though they were in yours), bathroom was filthy (tub had several areas of what looked like black mold), rooms are not refreshed for multi-night stays, etc. Totally not worth the money - it should be compared to a very low grade motel. We have no issues paying $250/night, but that price point comes with certain expectations that go beyond what's delivered here. We've been home from this vacation for a week and still irritated by this part of our vacation. We were desperate due to a last minute change in plans and we paid for it. Moral of the story: Book early, but book elsewhere.
Filth in the bathtub.
Suspicious staining that looks a lot like mold.

Historic property with well kept rooms above a popular local restaurant. Located right in the heart of town within easy walking distance of shops and river. Check in is at the bar, and there may not be hotel staff after hours. Very clean and well located with ample parking.

We had booked a 9 night stay. I don’t expect someone to check our room everyday but the housekeeper came after two nights and then not again until night 9, by then our garbage was overflowing. She did put clean sheets on the bed at that time which made no sense since we were leaving in the morning. Our room needed sweeping which I kept trying to do with paper towel. If nobody is going to check in on things that often then an extra garbage bag left and maybe a broom to sweep up the sand would have been nice. The restaurant below the rooms had excellent food and awesome staff.

Great value

Our room was huge and had a great large area to sit and talk. We had a friend over to chat up. Loved it! The bed was very comfortable. The shower was soooo good in the morning. Got our moneys worth.
