Friendly Staff Made the Difference

Very friendly staff. Hotel is in the heart of downtown Nelson. Parking is limited and guests should know they have to take stairs to their rooms. There is a community fridge and coffee available in a common room. It's a pleasant hotel and I intend to stay there on my next visit.

Very cool old hotel, great location downtown, super friendly staff, would definitely recommend. Loved the little coffee & ice area on the second floor! Only two negative things to say..... the wall mounted fireplace in our room didn't work, and there was a crazy amount of cobwebs on the outside of the windows of our room and bathroom. Both those things were minor, and other then those it was great. Would definitely book there again!

Clean but flawed

The hotel was clean and fairly updated, however upon arrival it was very concerning to see elderly and physically disabled guests struggling up or down the stairs by the reception desk. It didn't seem that there was any other staff outside of the person at the front desk, possibly to help people with their bags. The hotel has no elevator. We stayed over a weekend, and were told at our check in that our room was in the wing above the bar connected to the hotel. Saturday nights were apparently karaoke night, and it would wrap up around 11pm. The trend of music tended towards hard rock/metal/rock, and this went on directly below our room until midnight, after which loud music continued playing in the bar until 1am. If you are told you are staying in the wing above the bar, and you're there over a Saturday night, I strongly recommend asking to be moved to a different area of the hotel. There was absolutely no way we could have slept before the music stopped, even with earplugs.

Fun property in the heart of Nelson. The only negative was being right above the bar that had music going till 1 however, in fairness, this was disclosed when I booked the room. Property receives 5 starts regardless as they made me aware of it.

We loved the location and appreciated that our dog could stay with us. I was disappointed that the $25 nightly charge for the dog wasn't known to me until i arrived. They said it was because I booked through expedia, but it could have been in the room notes on the expedia site, "If you've got a pet, there will be a nightly $25 charge."
