The hotel was unique with spacious rooms and washrooms, high ceilings and fantastic views. It may seem like a simple thing but the automatic opening doors were very handy when trying to carry in crates while also trying to manage dogs. There is a grocery store near by and fridges in the room.

We love the Courthouse hotel. This is our 2nd extended stay. The first night there was a boiler issue which caused the room to be on the cool side until the boiler was fixed the next day. We were offered extra blankets but fell asleep before they showed up. Other than that, we enjoyed our time in this hotel. Breakfast was great each morning.

The bathroom was not clean, there was hair in the shower upon check-in. Only 1 bathrobe, in a double occupancy. 1st night the cleaning crew ran a big floor polisher at 12:30am. Banging and clanging mop buckets and talking right outside our door. Not impressed. No laundry. Will not return.

Don’t stay here in the winter
Room is super cold. Heating not working, I set the temperature at 99’f but it only go as high as 65’f, that was only 18’c!! Talked to the front desk right away and was giving a portable heater to get through the night, and was hoping to get a permanent solution for the next day of stay, but nothing happened , even tho we were promised that the management will looking into it and compensate us for the two nights.

This is a wonderful conversion of a courthouse to hotel. The rooms were inviting modern good beds and kept the beautiful original grandeur of a stately courthouse. The woodwork and views of the harbor and the Sleeping Giant Mesa were incredible. A wonderful place to stay

The building is beautiful but it is poorly run. Checkin was very bad with the hotel not acknowledging the fact that I had prepaid through Expedia. I had to contact Expedia to get them to contact the hotel and reverse the duplicate charge. I had booked a king size room with sofa bed. They gave me a regular room which was far too small for two people. Inadequate number of towels. Only one robe. Clogged sink. Not worth the price they charge.
