Showing wear and tear, but it was a quaint experience. The dining room is the best part of the hotel. Friendly local people. We had a quiet night and slept well in our room. The water is nice and hot, plus ability to boil a jug in the kitchenette. ##### Beverley Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shona Jul 19, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities It was great to stay in a heritage 2 listed building but it comes with the down side of not being well maintained.

The smell in the rooms were horrible. Bed was comfortable though. ##### Sarojini Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Geoffrey Mar 2, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel is very old and needs quite a lot of maintenance. There is no room service. In the five days we stayed the rooms were not cleaned and if we were lucky we got a clean towel, a small container of shampoo and a small cake of soap. The hotel is under new management and I believe that they will do their best to make improvements. The food in the restaurant was above average ##### Geoffrey Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mary Mar 5, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Noise, poor bathroom facilities, very, very tired. Not even a fan in extremely hot weather. Kitchen pretty horrid. But generally, clean, and very pleasant staff. Friday and Saturday nights especially noisy ##### Mary Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### George Oct 24, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities certain doors didn't have a knob. Communal kitchen was very limited. Bathroom leaky. ##### George Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Alexx Mar 25, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property is very outdated. Shared showers are covered in mould drains are blocked. Bed linen was dirty and stained. Absolutely horrendous ##### Alexx ### 4/10 Poor #### Deise Jan 6, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel has a creepy atmosphere, very old and definitely not well maintained. Pretty low hygiene standards. There were old blueberries rotting in the sink of my room, dirty and wet towels in the cabinet under the sink, lots of dust in the corner of the room and around the bed, the toilets were disgusting with a terrible smell and the curtains in the shower seemed not to have ever been washed. The hallway is dark with squeaky floors. I would not stay again. ##### Deise Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Christine Oct 31, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cet hôtel mériterait de gros travaux car calme et. Hôtel avec jolie façade années 20. Intérieur plutôt années 40 mais sans travaux depuis !!! Ni peinture ni moquette ! Dommage car le personnel est arrangeant. Attention les chambres premier prix ont douche et toilettes sur le palier ! Et il faudra compter 140$ nz pour une avec douche et toilettes privées. ##### Christine Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanaimo-Hotels-Tigh-Na-Mara-Seaside-Spa-Resort.h891260.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Oshawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Oshawa-Hotels.d6057905.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Dream Downtown, by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Dream-Downtown.h4434143.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Stanton South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Marriott-Stanton-South-Beach.h328774.Hotel-Information) > > [Year round hot tub!
