Very nice hotel and staff. Stayed four nights. Unfortunately we experienced one poor meal in the restaurant where our server apparently went on break and when someone else finally brought our breakfast, it was cold. Manager knocked off a percentage of the bill after we finally got someone else to attend to our table. Other visits to the restaurant were good though. Would most likely return as the location suited us.

This was my second visit to The Lord Nelson this year. The hotel is absolutely lovely. Old world charm in abundance. The restaurant was excellent. Location is ideal. My only complaint about the hotel is the very confusing parking. It’s straight forward to get in but then so difficult to get to the hotel.
