This is a beautiful property. The charm of the old courthouse has been maintained and it is quite nice. A couple of things put a damper on my stay though. 1- The room was cold and I couldn't get it warm. Not well insulated and the heating was not up to the task. Had the thermostat set to 78 and it never got above 70. 2- No hot water in the morning. Stagger your shower time. The hot water tank/heater, whatever, clearly didn't work well enough.

It's a old converted court building,That includes drafts. Great rooms but hard to heat in TBay winters. Rooms are good, but be aware of drafts. You'll also hear other people walking in their rooms, etc. There's not much around the property itaelf, unless your talking about the hospital right next door. Wifi was great. Staff was great. The newly redone downtown bar/dining is within a few blocks.

Nice place

We love this hotel, however the next morning breakfast was almost empty and the coffee was empty. Also no juice. We had a good sleep and the shower was nice, however the shower door doesn't close, it's not adjusted correctly and the hooks are on the wrong wall so i had to hang the towels on the shower
