10/10 incredible stay!!!

We had an incredible stay at The Walper! The staff were welcoming and accommodating as soon as we walked in the door. We were greeted by Juliet who was very knowledgeable and friendly helping us with parking, our room and even our dinner at the on site restaurant. It wasn’t just Juliet but EVERYONE on staff that were so kind even in the restaurant. We especially liked the text service, we needed wine glasses to our room and wanted late checkout and we were immediately answered and serviced through text. A lot of the reviews were complaining about parking however Juliet directed us to across the street where it was covered and free to park overnight (parking into Sunday). Overall we really enjoyed our experience, the room, the atmosphere the restaurant and the staff make us want to come back 10 more times. Thank you!

The hotel was really good. Good lovation and friendly staff. The food at the restaurant was ok. My only complaint would be that they let my cousin up to my room without announcing her. That made me feel a bit unsafe. She did stay the night before but had checked out. I would stsy there again though

Everything was wonderful! We were offered bottled water upon arrival which was greatly appreciated. We selected to have breakfast included and I’m happy we did. Healthy locally sourced foods where possible. The hotel serves my favourite Italian coffee/espresso which was a bonus. Robes available in the lighted wardrobe are a nice touch.

The staff are kind and lovely. The parking is a struggle but the food in the restaurant is delicious. They just need to improve their standard operations. Recommend not ordering food to your room and keep your stay short and you will have a great time.
