There is a diner in the same building and the area is surrounded by different shops and historical places within walking distance. There is a bus stop near by as well. The hotel was also quiet and peaceful. My partner and I had a wonderful stay However the name for this is different, expedia says one thing Google says another and the actually hotel area is another which did make it harder to confirm we were in the right area also they have no parking lot so you have to take your chances with try to find street parking. ##### Senika Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cameron Oct 31, 2023 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Walk in the nicest place every the room was very beautiful had everything you’ll need and more made for an amazing stay ##### Cameron Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve L.

Quiet and comfortable. Several small touches you wouldn't expect to find. Booking and check-in process was flawless, and remained that way for the duration. Favorite part was the lovely smells coming up stairwell from the pub. Building and block felt like a mini Whyte ave. One suggestion would be to either turn off the tree lights at night, or install blackout blinds, it gets quite bright at night. Ill be back! ##### Justin M.
