It is quaint in a nice way. Absolutely beautiful views. Staff were lovely . I was there on business & appreciated the quiet. Be aware it is older so plug ins are limited. One frustration - which honestly sounds ridiculous- is the tv channels . I am Canadian & was hoping to watch a CFl game but there was no TSN , yet this Canadian hotel had 7 NFl stations . Not cool! On a more positive note - they email you to let you know there are no elevators . I responded with a specific concern & they addressed it . Excellent customer service

We had shift Certificate and no one knew how to use it until a manager finally was on staff and directed staff how to use. It was a frustrating experience.

Room was nice and staff were very nice. However our hairdryer broke and lit up and smoked. Bathroom did not have an exhaust fan so it got very foggy. Shower drain seemed blocked. Also housekeeping tried to open our door, without knocking, when the do not disturb sign was on the door handle.
