Great hotel!
Great location and stay. Rooms are renovated with all new TV, fridge, microwave, and bathroom. Tub is wide and deep (good for soaking in). Breakfast was really good with hot scrambled eggs, sausages, and potatoes and Tropicana orange juice (which I like). Views from the room and the breakfast area looked out over the harbor. Would definitely stay here again.

Bon rapport qualité prix
Hôtel vieillot, dans cadre agréable, vu mer et très proche du centre ville.
Mériterait d'être rénové.

Hotel condition was very poor. Room was missing smoke alarm and had patchwork renovations. Bed was comfortable. Complimentary breakfast was very greasy, eggs were cold and the fruit had mould on it.

Not ideal
Not the nicest, i get its an old building but the electrical outlets werent secure, and would move into the wall when i went to plug something in. The towels in the bathroom were more of a large hand towel then a bath towel. I woke up to a bug of some sort in my bed. Very much hoping it wasnt bed bugs. The only highligh was the wonderful yound lady at the desk upon check in she recommended a great restaurant for us to go to for supper.

Good - Decent sized, clean room overlooking harbour in quiet area just outside downtown.
Bad - Poor choice breakfast at 8.30am (only open 7 - 9) with cereal dispensers empty, overflowing waste bins and no staff on duty to help or replenish stock.
Had 11 good hotel breakfasts in a 3 week holiday in the Maritime provinces but unfortunately the last one was this one.

Unfortunately the stay was the worst of my year between the horrible air fresheners (I guess they use whatever but just gave me headache ) along with the fact that I had to fight for a paid receipt was to much…. That hotel is a big X.

Very old property. It seems there are people who are rating the rooms for a long. The entry from the backside parking is is so bad and smelly due to cigarette buds all over. Very bad , no privacy to the rooms.
