There is nothing boutique about this overpriced hotel. Peeling wallpaper, dirty walls, mould on the bathroom ceiling, no bathmat, blinds that don't come down in the bathroom for privacy and a terrible bed. This is a hotel with so much potential if somebody would just give it some much needed love and updating.

It was quaint and quirky. Room was very comfortable and clean and was serviced every day. They don’t offer much in house (indeed most of the time the desk wasn’t staffed, but that didn’t matter). But proximity downtown and to the station was excellent.
