Great location, great staff, a good seaside stay!

Good location, friendly staff, a bit noisy, would benefit from sound proof insulation in the floor over the bar downstair. Since bed was not the most comfortable, don’t be afraid to ask for extra pillows. Staff was amazing!

The picture shown of the property is not the property I stayed in. Very misleading!!! The property is not on the beach. It's in a residual/business area a couple of blocks from the waterfront. I chose a private room which I liked but it was above the outdoor dining area of the pub below so noisy & cigarette smoke until 11 p.m. I couldn't open my windows which was very uncomfortable since there's no air conditioning & my stay was in July. Staff was nice (men only). Breakfast was included-continential.

Super vue, pour certaine chambres. Lit pas tres confortable. Staff gentil mais (a part Houssim) pas trop au courant du fonctionnement. Salle de bains adequates (a l’etage). Wifi adequat. Distance de marche du centre-ville. Dejeuner correcte, pain, yogourt, oeuf cuits durs, granola. Quand meme assez bruyant si couche-tot.

Je ne vous conseille vraiment pas de considĂ©rer cette option sauf si le prix est de moins de 100$. Nous avons Ă©tĂ© trĂšs déçu pour une chambre dans une auberge que nous avons payĂ© 350$. C'est du vol pour ce qui est offert. Deplus les fenĂȘtres Ă©tait bloquĂ© et il n'y avait aucune air climatisĂ©. Le service des incendies interdit ce genre de pratique. Les employĂ©s se plaignaient de diffĂ©rentes situations concernant les clients. Le dĂ©jeuner est fait le plus cheap possible. Il faisait plus de 30 degrĂ©s dans la chambre et nous attendions la musique du bistro.
