Polite and efficient service. Upgrade from single to double/queen bed was an unexpected and welcomed surprise. Overall excellent value for money. Pleasantly surprised by the room and hotel amenities. A beautiful building or will be once they finish their works.

I stayed for about 4–5 days. There was a strong, unpleasant odor in the hallway and a lingering smell inside the room as well. I wouldn’t recommend this place for families or couples.

When I raised these concerns with the staff, they seemed...

A/C heater was working along with the Smart TV in the room. The only major thing that bummed me out was th...

Only problemsl were, the bedding was a bit small for the thick mattress, so kept pulling out, and there was no toilet brush. Hotel building had a great heritage feel about it. Cosy common area, complete with a small library. Breakfast was cheap and really good. For an extra $6, o...
