Hotel is a little older. Mini fridge ‘hummed’, t.v. took a few minutes to get to work properly, had an issue with a smoke detector, had to adjust the toilet so the water would stop running. I found it odd that the coffee maker & accessories were located in the washroom. I went to move these out of washroom but coffee machine was plugged in through the bathroom counter. Bed was comfortable. Room & hotel were clean.
The complimentary breakfast was great! The dining area was beautiful. There was a good selection of food/ drinks to choose from & nicely laid out. Food was very good. Staff in dining area were wonderful, friendly, helpful. Front desk staff were friendly.

A very clean and well-maintained hotel with two great restaurants/bars and friendly staff.
The breakfast was disappointing after reading good reviews of it. The coffee machines were both empty when we arrived and the food wasn’t hot or tasty. It’s probably good if you arrive earlier. We were there towards the end of the morning.
We would definitely stay here again.

Breakfast was the typical 'included with room' buffet, what made it most pleasant was the person working there. There is something to be said about getting yogurt out of a machine, would much prefer single serving with choice of flavours. All in all, it was fine. Highlight of our stay was Tom's Place - great food, great service and amazing ambiance.

The hotel was quaint. It must be an elderly Best Western but it was charming in its own way. We enjoyed it. Great beds and quiet!
