My stay at the hotel was quite comfortable and luxurious, although I still prefer the cozy charm of the B&B we visited on our last trip to NOTL. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, offering a relaxing retreat after a long day. The service was attentive and friendly, with a genuine desire to ensure guests have a great experience. The location was perfect for exploring the town and enjoying the nearby attractions, despite a minor issue with the curtain in our room. The dining experience exceeded my expectations, providing a variety of delicious options to start the day on a high note.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The location was perfect, just a few blocks away from the main road, offering a nice distance from the busy tourist area while still being within easy walking distance to the town and theatre. The rooms, though in need of a refresh, had lovely hardwood floors and a relaxing jetted tub. The service was impeccable, making my early spring getaway feel wonderful. However, the dining could have been more diverse, and the room lighting was a bit dim for my taste.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were very nice and one of the quietest rooms I have ever stayed in, making it very comfortable and cosy. It would have been even better if there was a table for playing games/cards in the room. The location was ideal, close to the front entrance, and within walking distance of the Festival theatre, shops, and restaurants. The dining experience was a joy with a variety of hot and cold options, including fresh fruits. The service was top-notch, professional, pleasant, and met all our needs, although it could have been a bit friendlier. Overall, a great value for the money.
