    Our original room smelled smoky so we were quickly moved to a comparable room; however, we did not have a sofa sleeper in the second room. We were provided a roll away bed that broke and were quickly provided another one. The staff was so helpful in helping remedy all this. We could have used a few more towels for the 3 of us staying in the room that was obviously only outfitted for 2. There was no air conditioning so we opened the windows for air and there was a lot of street noise.

    Close to lakefront. The front desk and other staff were exceptional and helpful in addressing the snafus we experienced there. Close onsite parking!

    I booked the room through booking.com and paid more than I would have if I had just called the hotel and booked it through them. When I realized my mistake I found out I was unable to cancel the reservation and was stuck paying the more expensive rate for to nights!

    Location is excellent if you are attending an event at the marina. A lot of very good cafes and restaurants nearby. Secure parking lot with security guard. Staff are very friendly and accommodating.

    There was no safety bars in shower, tub was slippery, not senior friendly. Room was not as described in pictures. Very few places to put your clothes or suitcases. I ended putting clothes on floor. The alarm kept on going off even though no-one set it.

    good location, parking, Breakfast was excellent, as was the service. The room was quiet with a great view. Wifi was good. Front desk staff was good.

    Better housekeepers and maintenance. Visible stains on walls, curtains dirty. Repaint ceilings, walls and wash or replace curtains. Two things that would vastly improve the room. Replace flooring--the bathroom had new flooring which seemed very odd when you look at the rest of the room.

    It smelled like stale cigarettes and had some obvious wear, which is probably from it being old.

    I liked the location and the historical nature of it. There is a good brewery across the street and it’s centrally located. We stayed in the jacuzzi suite and the jacuzzi was nice.

    had few issues with booking process, booked for 3 adult and 2 children so a room for 5 people and was given a standard room with 2 beds so had to get a cott, after getting the beds ready to sleep we found what looked like dry blood and some gooy/sticky substance on the comforter/blanket, bathtub had paint peeling and rust. Beds were way too firm. Other than that great stay.

    The hotel was in very beautiful location by the waterfront

    The room smelled funky and furniture looked old. For almost 270 CAD we paid for one night, we expected a better looking room.

    I loved the walk next to the water. We had an amazing time with our dogs next to the water. I really liked the staff.
