Indifferent staff, blocked shower drain

I really want to give this hotel a good review, but it is interesting how one little thing can ruin a whole experience. Check- in was average, nothing special. The art found in various places in the hotel is beautiful and very interesting. The rooms are beautiful and mostly clean. However, our room had a moldy smell, which improved after we threw open the window and turned on the AC. Unfortunately, our shower drain was completely blocked, which we discovered in the evening when we wanted to shower. We called the front desk to get somebody to come fix the shower. The front desk person said there was nobody else that can help us, and her foot was sore, so she was not going to do it. She really did not care. My husband had to go downstairs and he found liquid plumber. He had to try clean the drain himself, was unsuccessful, and we ended up with no showers. I had to use the bathroom sink to do a partial wash. Hotel guests should not have to clean blocked drains in their room! This is the worst service, and, unfortunately, we won’t return there.

A Clean Bathroom is A Must

I had a hard time at check in because apparently after booking my stay in July, by the time I got there in late August there was no room saved for me where my daughter and I could stay with my dog. After the front desk personnel offered one night in a dog friendly room, and suggested I have my dog stay in the car I called everywhere else in town but nothing was available/could accommodate me. In short, I ended up getting a room for both nights after pleading and sharing that I had driven for 6 days from Ontario. Needless to say it was a terrible experience. The hotel is beautiful and while no one acknowledged me when I waited in the restaurant that served breakfast for atleast 8 minutes where it is posted to wait to be seated, I'd still give this hotel another try. Perhaps they will offer better customer service next time. Lastly, the carpet in the room I stayed in smelled musty and the shower stall needed to be cleaned better.
Nice shower

Staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel gets loud when the ferry traffic arrives after midnight and when traffic leaves at 5am. Not enough noise mitigation between floors and room doors don’t seal tight enough to block hallway noise. Shower grout and caulking were moldy

The best bed I've slept on in a long while, I still think about it every day and me and my sister talk about it a lot. We had a dog, they gave us a treat bag 💜 it was great area to have a dog, easy to get him in and out to pee and poop. We had breakfast, really good and cheap. Overall one of my favorite hotels on the Island.

Lovely rooms with decent sized bathroom but no curtains to close across the windows. While the blind limited visibility it didn’t block out sunlight in any way in the morning- bit odd. Turned up just after 4 (check-in time) to be told room was not ready, in fact 3 other couples were told the same thing, and no indication was given as to how long we’d have to wait . having just driven 5.5hrs I had no interest in jumping in car again to find something to kill time so I asked reception politely to go and find out how long and the chap came back with a room key. This is the reason why I am not giving a 5 star review. If checking time is so late in the day and guests stick to that time then rooms should be ready by then. Anyway hotel room was lovely and the fine dining restaurant was very very good so I would use this hotel again

Unfortunately when I booked either I neglected to say we had a dog or there was not a place for the information. When we arrived we could not have the room that was booked as it was not dog friendly. The staff did get it one however it took an hour to prepare the room. Not sure if this was a Expedia issue. No shampoo in the shower and the toilet bowl struggled to fill.

Overall the property was nice, however, our bathroom was not very clean. Like hair still in shower and on floor, looked like it was barely wiped down. Beds looked like they were slapped together and they are rock hard. Staff when we called a couple of times weren’t very friendly, however, when we checked in staff was friendly.
