Fabulous re-purposing of an historic waterfront building. A real gem. Slate flooring and exposed wood beams add to the warmth of the interior.

Hotel is in dire need of a refreshing. We experienced a large amount of dust in the a/c vents over the bed; burnt out light bulbs; no exhaust fan in bathroom; threadbare chair; broken toilet roll holder; large tears in desk light shade. Also, we were on the 4th floor but the elevator only goes to the 3rd - heavy bags had to be carried up 2 flights; rafters in our room were so low we hit our heads; the clothes closet was 14 inches wide; no plates or bowls at the " Continental" breakfast only paper cups and primarily muffins. However, the location was great.

Good hotel in great location with free on site parking. Our room was very spacious with a seating area and fireplace! However, it was little dark. Location was good, right in the centre of things. The only down side was breakfast which was meagre and uninspiring. How about providing at least a toaster, bread, jam and butter? Costco muffins don’t hit the spot.

The hotel was in a great location only a block away from George Street. Dining options were plentiful. Free parking in a downtown location was a bonus. The hotel had a lot of character, e.g. beamed ceilings. Free continental breakfast was appreciated.

Great historic building with lots of charm. It was very convenient. We were in room 211 and could hear all convos directly above us clear as day. Very dark dated room. We stayed for 3 nights and on the 1st morning we complained that the door latch plate was broken and nobody came to fix it. Lastly the breakfast was a disaster. Tiny room so never a spot to sit. No plates or trays. No bowls for instant porridge and even if you made it in the paper coffee cups there were only individual milks for coffee to put on it.
