The breakfast was toast, bagels, muffins etc. The room was clean, but the bathtub could use a better clean. There was plenty of parking. It was good for the 1 night we needed it for.

Hotel very dated. Walking towards our room we noticed the hallway door open & as we walked in the balcony door was open. We figured they were just airing it since it seemed to have a musty odour. We only were in the room ten minutes & left for the evening. Returning, after the room had been closed - it was awful! Too exhausted to call desk but would not stay there again.

Very old building, needs plenty of upgrades. Room was relatively good, bedding and towels were clean. Balcony overlooking Canal was interesting. Breakfast was adequate. The elevator was small, slow and didn't work all the time. Not certain I'd stay again.

Convenient location

Room was old but clean. Bed comfortable, towels nice and soft, air conditioner worked very well. Location was convenient for what we needed and canal behind the hotel makes a pretty view from rooms. Staff not friendly or helpful. Building is old—doors stick and carpet needs to be replaced. Pub next door was excellent!
