Nice stay for a business trip.
First stay at this hotel and it was really nice. The rooms and hotel generally were clean, and all was in good order. Not the largest rooms but for one it was fine. They do offer off-street parking but tried twice, on check-in and then after dinner and there was no space. There is all day parking about 30-40 metres away so that wasn't the end of the world. I have one negative or criticism, and that was to do with breakfast where I met a client. We both ordered eggs, but it came with just one piece of bread!! I had 2 fried eggs, and they were scrunched onto just one piece of toast which I wasn't happy about. Seems a bit cheap when you are paying $20 for eggs on toast. If I did stay here again, I would certainly have breakfast elsewhere.

We were on the 1st level, with rooms above us, the occupants upstairs were very noisy, until 10pm. I didn’t like the confinement of the room. We dined at Lola Restaurant, a bit pricey, the food was delicious. However the 2 course special with a Wine or Beer was good value. The car parking is hit and miss as patrons dining at the restaurant take the parking. Otherwise their is street parking meters.

Decent hotel, read the fine print
We stayed at the Provincial in a 2-bedroom for 2 nights. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The restaurant was attractive, and our breakfast there was good. Two things for future guests to note: First, the reception closes at 5:30pm. We didn't realize that and almost missed the check-in time, which is very early for a hotel. Second, in our 2- bedroom, the second bedroom was accessed through the first. This was pretty awkward; our friend had to walk through our room and past our bed every time he wanted to get to his room or the bathroom. This arrangement would work well for families with kids, but was not great for friends traveling together.

Quality
The room I had was tiny, but the bed was big and the most comfortable I've slept in. Good quality shampoo, soap, moisturizer etc. Small fridge in room. Wardrobe in room, one chair and desk. So had everything you needed but it was small and I heard people entering and exiting in the room opposite. Didn't eat there because I had such a good sleep I missed breakfast. I did get the cheapest room and the others are bigger.
