I had an excellent stay at the Frobisher Inn. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. My window had a lovely view of Hospital Hill! The on-site restaurant, The Frob, was delicious. I tried the Arctic char one night for dinner. The location of the hotel is great, as it's walking distance to everything.

Good Stay

Stayed here 3 nights while visiting for work. I enjoyed how the hotel was connected to a pharmacy/grocery store and had two restaurants plus a cafe inside. It was the dead of winter so I appreciated not having to go outside to grab a meal. I tried both restaurants and they were quite good, one is more of a bar/pub food with events during select nights. The room itself is quite large and cozy, it is definitely on the older side but it was still clean and comfortable. Staff were pleasant, and there is also a movie theatre inside the hotel if you are looking for some entertainment!
