Very nice comfortable room. Close to the main strip of NOTL. I wanted to fit the bed in my car because it was so comfortable. Great wifi. Better than most hotels and we have stayed in them in many countries.

Cute enough, soap in bathroom wasn't functional, would have been nice to have fresh coffee in the morning as opposed to Keurig pods.

We had a great stay right in the heart of NOTL at the Finley House. My daughter and I loved our stay in the Bernard Shaw room with a private bathroom. The room was spotless and well appointed. Instructions on arrival were easy to follow. Breakfast in the morning was a real treat, homemade French toast, real Canadian maple syrup, bacon, orange juice, coffee and bananas. What a great way to end our stay. If you’re looking for a place to stay in NOTL I would highly recommended Finley House. I’d stay again.

The hosts were friendly and helpful with a warm smile and a genuine heart. The breakfasts were delicious. For an establishment that is not specifically handicapped accessible, it was more accessible than many places I’ve been. That being said if you need accessible accommodations this is not the place to stay.

Convenient last minute choice but tired property not managed by owners. Shakespeare Room, bath is private but not connected to the room. Poor guest communication. Too many contact points who did not share. Did not pass on request for GF breakfast. Told to book direct not through Expedia. (And yes it smells of weed, a lot)
