Cute little Inn

Wonderful little two night stay at the Arbutus Inn. Best friend and I were in town for a wedding, needed something somewhat central with parking for two nights. The staff at the front desk were very friendly! Rooms were spotless, beds comfy, LOADS of parking in the parking lot, and great that your only steps away from some pubs, brunch places, Pho places and coffee shops. The rooms come with a AC unit, which was nice during the hot days. Only thing that bothered me was the "scent" that they use in the main lobby...it smells like someone dosed themselves in cologne. Its not a bad smell, just a strong smell. Like the smell hits you on the walk in! You dont smell it in the hallways or rooms, so it dosnt effect our stay. Im just shocked they would have strong smell like that in their lobby.
