Property is very charming and has a mansion feel to it. It is away from the city center so you will need a car to go around but a 10 minutes drive you will be in the city. Has lots of parking spaces plus a well groomed yard that you can enjoy. Would definitely stay here again

It was close to my ultimate destination. I did not like the lack of a one site resturant and also the room had two narrow steps just inside the room door

Would stay again

Nice quite place to stay, although a small conference was on while we were there. Stairs are a problem if you have mobility issues or heavy luggage. Free parking but down at the bottom of a hill. Could be cold in winter as it has steel framed windows that don't seal all that well (i.e. drafty gaps). We would stay again mainly because it suits ours needs and is close to family who live in Hamilton.

Love The Narrows

The Narrows was such a unique hotel. Although it is near the airport, it feels very secluded and quiet. The breakfast was simple, but so good!

The rooms have really nice charm and are large. The bathrooms have a standing shower stall and a separate bathtub too. It is right off Highway 21, near the airport, so the only negative would be the noise from the truck traffic. The property landscaping is nice too.

Wonderful staff who accommodated our very late arrival. Room was clean and well appointed. The having to go up a few steps to get into the bathroom took a little getting used to, but when you know the history of the building it was understandable. Great place, I highly recommend it.
