This hotel is conveniently located within the walking distance to all the attractions. Stuff is friendly and accommodating. Even though you have to pay extra ($25 CA )for the breakfast if you want, it's still worth it ,and unlike other hotels they serving breakfast till 11 am. We will definitely stay in this hotel again.

The exterior of the hotel is absolutely beautiful. It looks like a castle, which made for a lovely first impression. The staff were exceptional, kind, professional, and very helpful throughout our stay. However, the room itself left a lot to be desired. It was quite small and had a strong, unusual odour that was hard to ignore. The air conditioning didn’t work well, and the in-room phone also didn’t work. There was no hairdryer provided, and overall, the cleanliness didn’t feel up to standard. The room was also very dark. While I appreciated the charm and the service, the room experience was disappointing.

- The hotel was in a very good location. - The facility is dated but not too bad - Staff were nice. - If the room is not the park view, you will only see the back of another building very close from your window. - I paid extra CA$15/night to get any view from the window - The pool was ok - The water of the hot tub beside the pool is horribly dirty, I was shocked. Very disgusting and disappointed. Since it is a small tub, they should be changing the water everyday.
