We had the best time here. The rooms were comfortably spacious, with the exception of the shower/bathroom. Overall, the hotel itself offered a lot and is right in the heart art of multiple must see’s.
Hotel lobby was warm and comfortable.
There were a couple of great options for dinner and drinks in the evening. The spicy marg at whale’s tail was great and so was dinner.
We lived the coffe shop downstairs for coffee mimosas, provisions and merch.
A fun little spot around the corner for breakfast/brunch!

Outdated hotel. Rooms were clean but about 2 decades past prime. Also the doors slammed loudly at night keeping you up. I would try one of the newer motels if I visited again.

Super nostalgic, well kept, great service. Could use a few modern updates, but Fletchers seems to be up to speed. Didnt try the Crows Nest. Pool was kind of creepy in the basement.
