Not for anyone who can’t climb stairs. No elevator and a steep flight to the second floor. Very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Clean and obviously recently renovated.

The room was clean but very small with no air conditioning. The parking was limited so had to park at a nearby business. Location was very close to the ferry terminal which was convenient. Check-in staff was very helpful. Even helped carry our luggage . No elevator

Excellent customer service. Standard level of cleanliness for a hotel like this. I might suggest checking and cleaning the bathroom ceiling and pipes of the bathroom as there was a strong odour in the room unless you shut the bathroom door and kept the fan going after a shower and stains and hairs on the ceiling. The bathroom renovations look fantastic otherwise. The rooms were not super soundproof as you could hear everyone running down the hallway and the cars outside as they were single pane windows. The internet was fantastic, bed was clean and comfy for the need. The parking was reasonable, but might want to remove the seacan to a less intrusive place but I understand renos are still occuring. Also the batteries in the smoke alarm need to be replaced as it blinked red.

Very nice experience, the receptionist was exceptional. Towels were luxurious. Room was comfortable. The self parking was a little dicey, but safe. They are in the middle of a remodel, so I expect it to be even better if we ever come back again.

Liked: Cleanliness
I had requested an accessible room, which was provided. However the parking was at the bottom of a steep driveway, not accessible. The staff assisted me and tried to reserve the closest parking space, but was not successful. I parked across the highway on the road. There was no lighting near the bed. The best lighting was over a fridge. They brought me a folding chair to use. Unsuccessful. The tv went off 3 times, likely turned off by a neighbouring room’s remote. There was no hot water in the shower after 5 mins. When I mentioned it, they checked and it was hot the next day. The staff were friendly and pleasant. The room was poorly designed ( lighting, no armchair) Bathroom was updated but had unfinished look with unused space. Not boutique quality!
