GreatStayed with family · For friends and family
The hotel is a bit older, and while the cleanliness could be improved, it offers excellent value for the price. The food in the pub is absolutely delicious, and the staff at both the hotel and the restaurant were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We had four people staying in our room, and whenever we needed extra towels, they were happy to bring them to us promptly. Their warm hospitality and attentive service made our stay a very pleasant one. We would definitely stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

It has a great vibe, old style Inn. It needs some upgrading though. Our room, double bed, was very small and felt stuffy. There was a window air conditioner that we had to run the whole time to feel any air circulation. The window didnt open to provide fresh air. This made it very loud for sleeping.
The rooms with a door directly to the outside would be optimum. The staff were great, the room was clean and the pub was good food. Good location and close to all amenities.
I would return to a different room.

The room was clean but the air conditioner was very noisy and the bed was not comfortable. Got very little sleep. Turned the air conditioner off to try and get some sleep. The temperature rose up to 26° C, so had to turn the air conditioner back on.

Room was kinda gross. Hair in the shower from previous person. Extremely cheap amenities for $250 a night. Old worn.out beds. Doors slamming at all hours of the night from other guests, no dampers on the doors to close slowly. Person who checked is in neglected our breakfast voucher. Breakfast wasn't available until 9am and so we paid for it as part of our booking online but due to our schedule we got nothing.
Air conditioner was too noisey to sleep but needed for the stuffy bad air in the room.
Barely got any sleep due to other guests on either side of us that were just the worst.
The three rooms we were in were just above the lobby, and the noise we could hear I'm sure the deal worker could here but it continued all night.
This is the worst hotel I have stayed at in Canada and I travel coast to coast to coast.
It was the only place available for our date of one night travel.
I recommend staying anywhere else, even sleeping in my truck might have been preferred considering the cost.
Only positive was the pub and the pub staff. They were friendly and helpful and the beer was very cheap, service was generous, charming vibe.

Great Overall, it was a great experience. It's an old building, so if you have the right expectations going in of a quaint old Inn, then you'll be happy. The beds and pillows were super comfortable, and isn't that what matters most? The staff at the restaurant were the real stars: friendly and helpful and the food was fantastic. Shoutout to Heather!

The pub has amazing service and great food 4 stars, Bruce is amazing A++ highly recommend. . The hotel is a different story. Staff was amazing and did everything they could to make our stay amazing 4 stars , hotel 3 stars, average at best. Wifi sucks, paid for a room with a jet tub and its broken and was not told when I booked 6 weeks ago. Hours before our room keys would work. Waiting to talk with the manager in the morning, soupose to get a discount when checking out.Never did receive any discount.

The building itself is beautiful. We had an early morning flight, so checking out early was easy and wasn’t a problem
