This property is under new owners and, athough the service was very good, the upkeep and quality of the breakfast was not at the level of the previous owners. The 3 guys who remodeled and redesigned the property gave excellent service and a breakfast that was second to none!

Our first impression was good, until we noticed all the stains on the carpet in our room. The Lady Byng room. They may have been cleaned, but the stains remained. The breakfast, including the presentation, was lovely. The lounge was lovely with interesting artifacts. Parking was convenient. I went to the office at 10:45 on the morning of our departure to buy some coffee; the office sign said closed from 11-4.

I loved the heritage building and all the antiques. The breakfast in the lovely old furnished dining room was very good and complementary. The waiter gave excellent customer service. On the downside, the room smelled horribly of some pungent air freshener. I’m very sensitive to toxic fragrances. We opened all the windows. When returning to the room for the night it was very cold. There’s only a plug in electric heater & when I turned it on it blew a fuse & the TV wouldn’t work again. The parking is in an area you walk to behind the building through a little park walkway. Very expensive at nearly $400-00 per night. No one was around when we checked out. My 90 yr old aunt froze in her room with only an electric fireplace.

Charming old building. The staff were very friendly. When they learned it was our anniversary, they come to our room with a small bottle of champagne and glasses This is a pet friendly hotel, I’m Not sure I would have stayed here if I had done my research, but appeared clean enough.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The price for this hotel does not reflect the services provided / lack of knowledge of the current employees. Communication was an issue. Supper was so terrible. Although it was nice to be offered a “to go” breakfast as our flight left very early, it was terrible. Bread was beyond dry, server in the patio lounge seemed like he was brand new as well as the gentleman checking people in. It seemed that they were on day 1 of work there. The room we were in had carpet that was not very clean looking. Bed was very comfortable. It was just a shame that the service did not match the atmosphere at all. Very disappointing as this place could be a little gem.

Charming heritage inn with great potential We stayed one night in the Library Suite. The Latch Inn is a beautiful old heritage property in a great location, close to the airport and marina. The lounge and outside patio were lovely, and the nearby marina restaurant was excellent. The staff were friendly, enthusiastic, and seemed genuinely interested in improving the guest experience. That said, the room itself needs attention. It was large and full of character, but some basic guest-facing details were missed: inconsistent lighting, exposed fluorescent lighting that felt out of place in a century home, small holes in the bathroom tile, a loose wall shelf, and a shower drain that backed up. I understand the property has recently changed hands, and it feels like a place with real potential. I’m giving it 4 stars because of the location, charm, staff, and overall promise, but the room was closer to a 3-star experience. With attention to the obvious maintenance items, this could easily become a 5-star stay.

The Latch Inn is a unique accommodation if you like something more eclectic. The building has alot of character, as do the rooms. Everything was clean and inviting. Some areas more run down but nothing that overly concerned us. The breakfast was AMAZING...the hollandaise sauce was so delicious. Service was really great and the location was quiet, safe and very close to the airport (which is why we chose it). Highly recommend!
