Lobby and staff were great. The rooms are furnished circa 1980, water pressure was poor and wifi could not have been worse. Great location but not worth room rates.

Clean, comfy beds and pillows. A slightly outdated look if you're looking for a modern feel this wouldn't suit you. Family-friendly comfort style. The food, breakfast especially at Tempo restaurant off the lobby is phenomenal! Good location, many restaurants close by, not too far from the harbour.

Great location! 5 minute walk to the Harbourfront, buses, ferry to Dartmouth, and close to the commons area. Check-in and check-out, we're quick and easy. Staff were always welcoming and helpful. Room is clean, spacious and comfortable. The thermostat is a little outdated, it has no auto setting, and can be a little loud at night.
