Fabulous location, walkable to all attractions. Room is somewhat standard in an aged building but practically renovated. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Stay here if you want the convenience when exploring.

My sister and I stayed here for only 1 night but we would happily stay here again. The beds were a bit soft but comfortable and we had a nice peaceful sleep. It's a short walk to the harbourfront, lots of great restaurants and quirky shops, and the Bluenose II if you want to see a bit of Canadian history. During check in there is a parking spot right out front, and then the staff located an overnight parking spot for us nearby which I thought was really nice. There is also an elevator for those that need it.
