Staff was very friendly, but area is not great, OPP was there twice in our first hour, the elevator smelt like BO or Alcohol every time and the stairs was constantly occupied by questionable people not going anywhere. Stains on the box springs and holes in the doorknob areas. Wouldn’t recommend, spend the extra money for the peace of mind and cleaner amenities.

The room, and the hotel were clean and comfortable. The history of the hotel was very interesting and we really enjoyed reading about it. It was a hotel with character and we’ll be sure to book there again. We also had a couple of great meals in the hotel’s restaurant. The front desk staff, security and restaurant staff were all super friendly and helpful.
