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.

Management phoned and left a message letting me know I had left something behind, which was very thoughtful of them! It’s on a busy street, but other than that, the staff was friendly and accommodating and the beds were super comfortable!
