It was a fine place to stay. Property is getting a little tired but clean. On-site restaurant pub is good. Large rooms . Bus access to downtown Water Street is frequent and 2 minutes away.

Would say our room with two double beds was "boutique". It had everything we needed. Lovely clean room with good air conditioning. When I entered the lobby it smelled of smoke but everywhere else on the property there was no smoke smell. Perhaps the lobby is close to the smoking rooms.

Did not have good water pressure, like a lumpy shower but it did the trick. Staff were really good. Pub food wasn’t my favourite. The walk downtown seems short but it’s straight uphill. Overall place was good for that I paid. :)

It was worn down. The old in window air conditioner was that loud you had to have the tv blasting and it was to loud to keep it on during the night and then it was to hot in the room to sleep and you could hear a fan from another room that kept you awake.
