The location is perfectly centred right in the town. The building is old and has character which I like, but best of all it’s very clean! The staff were very friendly and helpful. It’s my second day there and I would certainly stay there again!
Highway calamities required a last minute hotel find. Staff were so kind and helful. Let me check in rather late. The guest lounge and patio were wonderful to have access to.
Second time I stayed first time I thought the hard bed was just that room. Stayed second time different room still hard bed!! No thanks not again. I will not book a room there anymore.

Centrally located to great restaurants and shopping.
Property was an overpriced old building with next to no parking. Nicely renovated but walls were paper thin. Had to call front desk at 3 am to ask them to tell my obnoxiously loud female nieghbor to shut up. Rooms are clean but small. Beds are rock hard. Are conditioner is mediocre at best. I'm tired of overpriced hotels that hide behind groups like expedia.
Fabulous hotel in Nelson. Friendly and hepful staff with a very good coffee shop sharing the space.

In a good location. Bar, lounge and coffee shops were great. Our room not so much. Very small with a lock off door and you could hear the people in the other side very loud. Noisy outside of this room with a huge fan and air conditioner outside the room. Ugly view.

Decent hotel and great staff. Only downside is bar below is very noisy. Recommend going to the bar until closing time and the noise won’t be an issue.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The bathroom/shower floor was not the very clean.
We definitely appreciated the staff. We were booked in a king room but there was a fan just outside our window. We changed rooms without hesitation from staff.
I would certainly recommend this hotel.
