Would have liked a bit more ambience in the rooms some more pictures and items to make it a more interesting and liveable, a few more signs on things like coffee or tea hot water etc at breakfast, also in the room we would like to have a couple of glasses to drink our wine instead of paper cups. For the price we are content with our stay.

Room and breakfast were great, air conditioning is fairly dated wall unit, doesn't do a great job of cooling when temperatures are warm enough to actually need it. Location is a bit sketchy, and the fee for parking is suspect given that the lot is not gated or protected and in a fairly run-down area. Power was out for a few hours during our stay and our floor had no emergency lighting to speak of so guests had to navigate with their cell phone lights.

The Power was out when we arrived to check in. As a result we were not able to check in, attendant said they would call us when it was ready. 2 hours later we came by the power was back on and they did not call us. When I asked I was advised that they were too busy to call, after having offered to call to let us know when the power had returned.

The location is great! Unfortunately, I believe the Inn got to a point where they solely rely on the great location to get guests, instead of running the Inn well and upkeep it. We did not end up staying after we paid because we were totally grossed out that the boys couldn't take a bath in the tub and they would have had to shower because the plug didn't work. Then had to pull out a huge mess of hair out of the drain..! That was it for us. But apart from that, the paint were peeling terribly at the window sill and the one bed's lining was teared/had holes in it. We did not even bother looking at the swimming pool

Terrible and uncomfortable check-in experience
For disclosure. I did not easily complain about poor experiences. I work in customer service, so have some sympathy. But this was an awful check-in experience that was handled very badly by the hotel. I arrived early in the day to bag drop and leave the car. When I came back later to check-in, my booked room was given to someone else by mistake. I was the charged 3 times for tourist tax, despite only 2 rooms. I was told my credit card was the problem for a hold charge no going through. Despite 5 cards across 4 people having the same issue, and me point out the clear obvious evidence that its the hotel system. They followed up again to say one charge is pending and won't get charged. Incorrect again, I've been charged. Desk person asked for ID 3 times, finally disappearing with it to do something on a computer (I assume book a new room?). Having someone take your ID away for 30min is not comfortable. We were told our parking would be waived, only to find a charge was applied without disclosure. I was told my credit card was the problem, the same one that booked the room at was just charged tourist tax. I was then asked for a non BMO card. We went through 5 cards in total for the group of 4 peoples. Room fine otherwise. Just very bad check-in experience.

Booked on Expedia. Expedia didn’t tell me that once I got there there would be a $20 parking fee and $5 hotel fee (not sure what that was for). The hotel is old but not dirty. It is clean but our tub had chips in it. Very small bathroom. A bit noisy. The beds were very comfortable
