Great hotel, I'd stay again. Parking is a bit of a miss for me, but I think that's just the nature of an old hotel in an old community. Thanks for the hospitality.

We really liked the lounge where you could get coffee or soft drinks or just relax or visit with other travellers. We found the lighting in the room to be poor but not a big deal. Excellent bar and restaurant on-site.

We only stayed one night here, but we really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. We had appetizers and a drink at the downstairs bar, and the food was good. The location was very convenient since the hotel is right downtown. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would happily stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay there, close to everything. The room was clean and a very firm mattress. The negative thing for us was being in our 80’s that there was no elevator. The cafe next door had excellent coffee and muffins.

Great place, best location, right downtown. Adjacent is Louie‘s steakhouse, very convenient. Empire bakery also adjacent, best breakfast. Gyro park is a 12 minute walk away, best view of Nelson. Nice hotel, older property, slightly outdated, with a bar downstairs, making for a lively stay!

The front desk crew was great! Helpful for recommendations and trying to help, when the heat wasn’t turning on from the heat pump, as the weather was tiring colder only the cool function was working. Also if you’re staying in the rooms over the pub make sure you have ear plugs or something when the music kicks off at 9.

Central location with Restaurant Pub on one side of the hotel and Bakery on the other. Did not use the Sauna but a very enjoyable one night stay at this Boutique style hotel. Would continue the Adventure on my next visit to Nelson, no hesitation.

Have stayed before & likely would again because of the wonderful location. Hopefully a one off experience. Sink/ pipes were clogged & rather odorous. Lounge seemed a bit unkempt, and coffee had run out by very early AM. Staff, particularly the lady during the morning were wonderfully kind, friendly, and helpful.
