Convenient location downtown, an easy walk to the waterfront, shopping, and restaurants. Front desk staff were great, really helpful. The hotel is older but nicely updated. Our third-floor room overlooked City Hall across Pandora. Large fridge, desk, dresser, armoire - quite spacious. The Lavazza machine was a nice touch and could deliver hot water, but wasn't a fan of the plastic espresso capsules. L'Occitane products were great, and appreciated that they weren't single-use. Carpet could have been a bit cleaner, and there were a few minor maintenance issues in the bathroom that should be addressed. On arrival we were able to pull into the loading area on Pandora (one-way) and unload, before moving to the hotel's secure garage in a separate building on the other side of Douglas a half block away. It was fairly quick and painless, and that's what you get for a historic downtown hotel. The self-park option was just over $26.

This was a beautiful boutique hotel. Loved the place and the staff. We fully enjoyed it and will certainly go back again. i would recommend anyone to stay here. Close to wharf and amenities. The only negative is that the stores around it are closed and boarded up. Nothing they can do with it but it would be nice if it was a bit better. time will bring this area back. My wife and i did not feel unsafe at any time so i would still recommend you to stay here.
