While the accessible bedroom was very good; generally the hotel felt uncomfortable in its “renovating” state; staff were accommodating espec. Reception on Floor 1 there was a nice view of the River + Peace Bridge in Dining Room and there was a good enough selection at Breakfast; cost for 3 night stay did not reflect the inconvenience.

We liked the location. Staff were great, friendly, efficient & professional. We are sure, once the revamp work is completed it will be excellent. However. We were very disappointed to learn on check in that parking for residents wad £14 per day. There was no notification of parking charges when booking via Expedia.

The room was clean but furnitures are old and beat up. The property really need serious renovation, the entrance was closed due to on-going construction. Phone charger and outlets need an upgrade or at least provide portable plug for new tech. accessories. The staff are fantastic and very helpful, I personally feel bad that they have to work under that kind of condition, and having minimum resources to accommodate guests' simple requests
