This was a beautiful late 1800s building, with perfect modern updates. I would stay in yhis place over and over again. The indoor pool and hottub was clean and big enough for laps. Theres also a sauna. Irs walking distance from anywhere you need to go and 1 block to the city free tram. We wheeled our luggage from bus stop to the hotel, then the next day, we wheeled them the block to the tram and rode it to the cruise ship. The staff was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable and very welcoming.

Great room, great location, and friendly staff

The suite was very nice with a balcony overlooking Spencer Street. Very convenient location, just a short walk to train station, Exhibition Center, many restaurants, etc. It's an older building so it's a bit quirky, but we'd definitely stay there again. Very satisfied customers!
