My stay was good and made better by 1 particular staff member i want ro recognize here. Helen was at the desk when i arrived in the evening, she was kind and exceedingly helpful. After spending 2 decades working in hospitality you notice the exceptional and this lady fits the bill. If her manager is readign this give her a raise immediately.

This is a heritage building and was lovely! Loved the old city charm of this hotel. The staff at checkin were so pleasant and helpful. Be sure to call ahead or stop in front of the hotel at the pullin for instructions on where to park…they have secured parking kitty corner from the hotel. The Palms restaurant which is attached to the hotel was very enjoyable…great atmosphere and good food! We had a great dinner before walking down to the Saveon Events centre to attend the BTO concert..was a great 10 minute walk from the hotel. Would definitely stay again here.
