We had what was called a suite but was really a spacious apartment! It was comfortable and well positioned but was more rustic than we expected mainly because of the age of the building, but the curtains didn't fit the windows and the room isn't serviced. Breakfast was excellent

We had a beautiful view of the harbour from our room. The room was spacious. The only downside was the bathroom amenities and parking. We were given one shampoo packet each, and parking is on the street. We were fortunate to find a close parking spot but were afraid to drive somewhere and lose our spot. There is parking at the harbour for $25 a day if there is room. We would go back for the view.

The property was certainly unique and the view was spectacular. The check-in procedure was old-school (all paper/pencil) and done by the same employee trying to seat people at the busy restaurant so the process was a bit harried. They have done a good job with the hotel rooms- they are older of course, but cute. Would have preferred a bit cleaner and the mattress was a simple spring mattress. There is no parking for the hotel, so paid for parking at the museum until later in the evening when we could find street parking.

The view of the harbour from our room was great and the location to restaurants etc was very good. On street parking was hard to find. Room was very dated which I sort of expected. Linens need to be replaced and washed more effectively and area carpet was stained and tired. Breakfast at the restaurant was good and reasonably priced. Room came equipped with milk and creamers in the fridge as well as real glasses and mugs instead of paper and plastic. Nice touch.

Had one of the "Crow" suites, was awesome view, room was spacious,clean, and comfortable. We were off season so most amenities in the area were closed. The restaurant in the hotel was open and food was good. I would stay here again, in a flash.
