Hotel was in the middle of a neighborhood which was quiet but not alot to walk to. Parking is tight, and we parked on the street and carried luggage up a decent incline. The breakfast was great! Cute bar and comfortable area. Would stay again.

There was no A/C, no fridge or microwave, and the plumbing had issues with making a loud noise every time the toilet was flushed. I wouldn't consider this a 4 star hotel based on the quality of the room. The lobby is nice and gives off the 4 star vibe, but you pay for the room and not the lobby.

Very nice hotel but it’s not in a great area. You have to walk several blocks to get to anywhere close to restaurants. There is a restaurant in the hotel and our dinner was very, very good. The service was excellent. The room was nice, but the temperature could not be adjusted And the coffee pot was impossible to figure out. The hotel needs better signage on the street for where to pull in. There’s a very ample parking lot, but it’s a one-way street and if you miss it, you have to circle around because it’s not well identified.

Nice hotel, the only issue was that it’s not air conditioned, so it was pretty warm in the room.

If you are driving, the off site parking isn’t that convenient. Hotel layout is a little confusing and there were a few hallway odours. Room was large, clean, comfortable and quiet though.

Clean, and tidy, good location to explore. Staff were friendly, only downside is if you want to use the pool (at weekends) you are also in with local swimming lessons & it’s not that big.

I appreciated the history of the hotel and even the cemetery in the back. The manager was very friendly and provided us with background information about the hotel. However, the elevator was slow, and the parking was tight. We ended up parking at another location, but we had to pay each time we wanted to retrieve our car. The hotel was within walking distance to Shandon Bells & Tower at St. Anne's Church, and it was an easy walk across the bridge to downtown.

We booked this because of location and the pool. The pool was closed when we arrived and there had been no notice of a closure so we didn’t have the opportunity to change our booking. We were told to use it in the morning. In the morning they told us to come back because it was busy and we didn’t have a reservation. No mention of needing a reservation was mentioned the night before. Also, they don’t do laundry on weekends. This was one of our hotel stays and we really needed that service, again no heads up. We went out to breakfast and upon return, our keys didn’t work. Usually with all these kinds of interruptions to service the host is very gracious and accommodating, not here. Too bad, because it could be a nice place to stay. The bell tower was lovely, and it was a nice neighborhood to walk and dine.
