Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The corner room was extremely small and the hallway was only a couple of feet wide. I think that the building was built in the early 1900s. some of the amenities, such as the window blinds had a very old chain to raise and close the blinds. It’s not a 3 star hotel at all- but the beds were comfy and the room was quiet

I stayed here for 5 nights as a solo traveller. Check in was nice and easy. The room itself was of a decent size (double room) and was equipped with everything I needed. The bathroom was quite small and cramped but the shower was excellent. I also had a nice 'dressing area/wardrobe' with a big mirror. It's quite an old hotel but it adds to its character. The room was extremely clean. You get free coffee/tea in the morning in the lobby which is a nice relaxing area to sit and work if you need to.The hotel is in an excellent location in the downtown area and very central, plenty of shops and restaurants/cafes nearby.

The second floor room facing the street was super loud and i struggled to sleep without waking up often due to cars, ambulances, trash trucks, etc… it’s a nice hotel in a great location. I would definitely stay there again but would probably chose a room not facing the Main Street.
