Great location, loved the maze to the room. But the place had stains on a pillow case, the shower curtain and the quilt inserts. Grout on bathroom floor missing in spots, silicone around tub cracked and mold stains. Floors noisy, although that’s also charm of an old building. Overall, has potential to be a great place with some work. Also bed uncomfortable and pillows lumpy and terrible

Great location. Room with a view but can get loud at night as there are bars and loud music. Bed was comfortable but the room was not very clean. Bathroom had lots of areas with mold as there is no adequate ventilation. No free parking. Parking is near but you have to pay.

location, heritage building, walkable, local dining options all good plus points, however, we had the only listed suite on the property and a few critical deficiencies noted , 1 the bed mattress was well past is usable comfortable life span (needs replacement), 2. claw foot tub is heritage interesting however the shower curtain did not extend into the tub thus leading to excessive water leaking onto the floor, 3. lastly, the ventilation for the washroom is non existant causing sewer like smell and humidity build up
