From the outside nice looking old hotel. Inside it was rundown and not the cleanest. We only had one towel and the coffee maker still had old grounds in it. No where to hang clothes or even put your luggage

Don't book this hotel!
My biggest complaint is the community bathrooms that were not mentioned in the description of the hotel. Small rooms, poor water pressure in the community bathrooms and no air conditioning, which was also left off of the description. I wouldn't stay here again for free.

center of the city close to everything
The hotel is almost 130 years old Victorian style building, very modern rooms, great staff, I was really impressed that I was a little late for my check-in and was offered that I could check-out a little later in the morning if I needed to...very nice. The price is amazing, I am definitely making my reservation right away for my trip back through northern Ontario @ The Algonquin Hotel in Sault Ste Marie...Thank You, for making this a wonderful stay on my travels.

Charged My Credit Card When I Didn't Stay
I cancelled my reservation on "Their" site over 3 weeks in advance and was charged for 3 nights. I've been trying to straighten this out but nothing. "Renter Beware"!! I will never make reservations there again or stay there.. Have posted my experience on my FaceBook!!

The worst hotel I've ever seen.
Small room with 1 bed. there is no table. The private washroom has old bathtub with no head-shower, which make it unusable. There is no elevator so you will have to climb wooden stairs with your stuff. The reservation was on wrong date which they didn't cancel and the hotel charged me again. I had to call the hotel and Expedia, but I didn't get back my money. This hotel needs tear down and rebuild with new standards and new owners. Don't go there...

Not the greatest
You share a bathroom with the entire floor. The bar is in the same building so you have loud music coming through the walls until 2 am.

Historical building disappoints.
Unfortunately the hotel is not well kept. The corridors smell badly of urine, carpets are old (which does not justify lack of cleanliness) and there is a bar on the first floor with loud music it closes at 11pm. I asked for a room switch, offering to pay for extra room if they did not have a double room. The lady tried hard to be nice and gave me an explanation about testing the sound system and turned the music down, but not to an extent that allowed rest. Music went on until 11:30pm. Toilet paper was not available in the room and we had to ask for towels for the 3rd guest, even though it was a doble room booked for 3. Not a big deal, though shows the level of service available. It is a pity since the building is a historical spot and really nice architecture. Very well located with lots of parking. Wi-Fi is ok.
