Basic but clean

Basic room, clean and warm. Owner friendly and helpful. The money saved on the room paid for dinner at Duncan's Pub nearby which was fantastic. If you don't mind sharing a bathroom and just need a bed for the night, it was hard to fault. Look forward to my next stay.

The owner is a very kind and caring host, I felt very welcomed upon arrival. The shared kitchen, washroom and laundry facility was a great addition to make it feel more than just a room. The other guest staying at the time, were very friendly and thoughtful. I would recommend staying here as it is also right downtown and within walking distance to local shopping and some great food options.

Owner was very nice. I didn't expect the bathroom to be out of the room. I enjoyed the room, but I think there was a lavender odour and my one grandchild has sensory issues so it was problematic for them, but myself and my other grandchild enjoyed it. Although we didn't use it, there was a lovely jug of water and glasses awaiting us.
