Staff was very helpful and accommodating. There was a secure parking. The hotel is conveniently located, however, given the circumstances of the neighbourhood we didn't feel comfortable walking there at night. The rooms are not equipped with safes. The breakfast was very minimal.

This hotel is a gem. Built in 1906 and opened in 1908, it still features much of the original details snd is as preserved as possible. Gorgeous woodwork and artworks, original stained glass, and features of a time long gone, this beautiful place is a must stay for historians and anyone who appreciates heritage buildings. Dennis the manager is amazing. He took me on a lovely tour of the entire building g, which has many hidden features. Well worth staying at and I will again for sure.

Disappointing downtown hotel with club downstairs. There was a noisy party that made checking in difficult. Hotel only has eight parking spaces and they are behind a locked gate so you need to pay for street parking. This was once a beautiful grand hotel but is past its prime. Given a room above the clubs but music was so loud had to move to a different room. Rooms are really small, nothing like the pictures online. Will not stay there again.

Beautiful old building but smells like stale beer and cigarettes from days of yore. Corridors exceptionally spacious and rooms comfortable. Towels a bit thin and small but adequate.

Thus hotel is in a beautiful location. It’s an interesting older hotel. Nice staff, good bed but the rooms have been used by smokers in the past and the room we had had stale smoker smell.

Nice main areas. Tiny rooms. Noisy location

Beautiful old hotel. Rooms are tiny. Noise from the street was very excessive making it difficult to sleep. Continental breakfast was acceptable but should be made clear that it’s only fruit and pastries. Not a full breakfast. Staff were lovely - professional, spoke English, polite and accommodating
