The room was great, the staff is wonderful. Parking can be an issue as it is all On street parking. However it opened up quickly. The porch room needs some work. Window handles broken! Plus the room in the hot summer is difficult to use.

Our room and the check-in area were very clean and the staff was friendly. We had a lovely view of the harbor, the Bluenose II, and the horse drawn carriages on Bluenose Drive from an enclosed sunroom off our bedroom. Very pleasant and many good restaurants, shops, and the waterfront within easy walking distance.

The room we were in was clean and tidy. It was a bright unit that did not have blinds. They supplied eye masks but I dislike using them. The building we were in had 4 rooms and it was very poorly sound proofed. We were kept awake by the conversations downstairs. The owner responded to my second request for help with the noise.
