The hotel itself was great, it’s too bad about the location with the amount of transient traffic that passes through and within close proximity.

Extremely warm welcome from Allan, we reserved two rooms for our family trip. Rooms are clean and quaint. The street noise is a bit loud (but we are from the country so it may not be problematic for everyone).

Place was good. The room did have a smell of smoke. They were unable to change the room due to it being fully booked. Overall, it was a good stay, quiet and convenient location to get around.
