Fun to stay in an historic building. Great area to be in. No a/c so be careful about going in summer months. As it is historic it’s a little run down, but otherwise enjoyable.

“Queen” in a King Suite ❤️
Arrived very early to hotel, amazed at the great check in I had with the young lady! Got me in earlier than I expected. Room wasn’t quite ready but would be in less than a couple hours. They held my luggage so I could go wander. I returned a bit later, to be given an upgrade! From a standard to a King Suite! Thank you Sylvia Hotel and Hotels.ca! I have never been upgraded like this. Very much appreciated, I felt like a “queen” in the King Suite❤️😃👍

Outdated but clean
Overall great. Outdated but clean. No soundproofing though. I could hear a room next to us, and the room across from us when leaving the room. Water pressure was great, but drained very slowly. Fridge made tol much noise. Temperature was great, sheet was clean and comfortable. Pillow was not super comfy.
