It's a old converted court building,That includes drafts. Great rooms but hard to heat in TBay winters. Rooms are good, but be aware of drafts. You'll also hear other people walking in their rooms, etc. There's not much around the property itaelf, unless your talking about the hospital right next door. Wifi was great. Staff was great. The newly redone downtown bar/dining is within a few blocks.

Nice place

We love this hotel, however the next morning breakfast was almost empty and the coffee was empty. Also no juice. We had a good sleep and the shower was nice, however the shower door doesn't close, it's not adjusted correctly and the hooks are on the wrong wall so i had to hang the towels on the shower

The hotel is nice, but the room was very cold. The heater and fan did not warm up even on high. A stain was found on the bed sheet. The hotel is good only for summer. The breakfast wasn’t good enough. There was little food and it wasn’t tasty. The front desk lady was very slow and only one person worked. The price is too high for this experience.
