Check in was great. Staff polite and helpful. Room was ok for one night stay. Room was clean over all with a few exceptions; hairball on carpet and few towels and some colour stains . Washroom had basic amenities. Expected a little more for the price.

The property is wonderful. The rooms are well appointed. The staff is wonderful and really helpful and kind. The location is wonderful. I think it’s unfortunate they charge extra for early check in when the room is available. The positives far outweigh the negative I noted above. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

I loved that the hotel was modern while being in an old building. The rooms were comfortable, and I appreciated the L’Occitane products in the bathroom. The staff were friendly and attentive. In addition, the location of the hotel is excellent. It’s minutes away from shopping, dining, and you can take a lovely stroll along the river, which is also close by.
