Liked: Amenities
This vintage facility has been around since the 1800s. We truly enjoyed a relaxing stay there to revel in a piece of Canadian history. Complementary breakfast on the outdoor front veranda was a delight. Some of the building is tastefully set with antiques and the rooms are upgraded with newer decor. Would stay again especially due to the friendly helpful staff.

Staff was lovely, room was great and the building is stunning. Only comment would be that they had multiple events on and there wasn't adequate parking for overnight guests when we arrived to check in, although they do have an agreement with a property close by.

I used to always stay in a downtown hotel but lately safety has been an issue when travelling alone. I enjoyed my stopover at the Inn and will get back there anytime I need to make a stopover in the London area.
