Bannerman Park Tours and Activities

This is a boutique hotel in an older building. There is a certain charm with the architecture and the high ceilings; however, with an older building there is poor sound-proofing (we heard every step the upstairs guests made). Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The room needed a deep clean as there were dust-bunnies under the chairs and in the corners. The hard surface floors are great but were not very clean when we arrived. There was grit and fingernail clippings that did not belong to us. We walked around in our socks to keep the room clean but that also revealed how dirty the floors were. The location is great; right beside Jelly Bean row and within walking distance of downtown. The parking was as advertised but there are only 7 or 8 spaces on the street for non-residents, happily we always found a place to park each day. The check-in process was non-contact. We were given lots of information prior to check-in and an info pack on arrival. There was a guest directory provided with some information on local attractions and restaurant suggestions.

The lighting in the room wasn't great and in the bathroom it was very poor. I could hardly see in the mirror. The towels and face cloths were very thick. This can be good and bad - bad in that the face cloth was impossible to use. It was too thick to wring out. The pillows were overstuffed. The hotel did not have any less stuffed. I had to go to Walmart to purchase a pillow. The water taps on the bathtub were very difficult to figure out. Consequently the water temperature could become dangerously high. I missed having a complementary breakfast. On the whole, my stay was very enjoyable. I would not hesitate to stay at this property again, if the price were right.

Great stay, reasonably priced, and good location. We will go back
