The carpet had so many large stains in it, it was disgusting. The bed squeaked and you could feel the springs. Mattress and carpet need to be replaced immediately. Breakfast was ok. Neighborhood is very rundown, it is the only place on the block that has been renovated and homeless are camped out across the street.

Good location to walk to the waterfront (15 min). Nice breakfast every morning. We were able to do laundry in the evening which was very convenient. Limited parking so ask in advance if you need one.

Great location & good price--felt safe. The view out our window included a dilapidated building next door and a graveyard. The property condition was good, but minor adjustments would be great...the toilet overflowed, the sprung mouse trap under the bed was weird, and it was difficult to find an outlet to charge our phones. Reserve a spot to park if you plan to come and go during the day...otherwise the public parking across the street works well. Breakfast was continental.

Room is small, property could use some updating. Staff were friendly. Poor layout in the bathroom made it awkward to use the sink. Shelf over toilet so toiletries can tumble into the toilet. Carpet was old/worn and didn’t appear clean.

Excellent location for us and we were able to just leave our car and walk to everywhere we needed to be. We were even able to walk downtown to the waterfront to see the sights. The surrounding neighbourhood seemed very safe at night. The Inn was very clean and the continental breakfast was well laid out. A warm, comfortable environment overall. This property does not have an elevator so we had to carry our luggage up and down 2 flights of stairs. Being 80ish, this was not so easy. Staff did offer help if we needed it. Our towels had seen better days, and we would have liked to have had extra towels in the room when we arrived. A second towel rack would certainly help keep things organized in the bathroom. The Inn’s website did not say that there was a mini fridge in the room. We were surprised to find one!

Decent place to stay. A lot of the charm of an older house has been lost. The room was clean, except the bathroom floor wasn't to the same standard. The staff were excellent and very helpful.
