It was a great place to stay. A bit confusing at first, as it is a residence condos where the underground parking is. However, the room was amazing. Had a great nights sleep. Will definitely stay again.

It is a beautifully designed and constructed historic rehab with great amenities. A great hotel with a fantastic pub, and delicious cafe. A win, win, win. If ever back in the area, we will absolutely stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
There was no bathroom - the sink and shower were in the room with the bed and the toilet was in a small closet. The shower was large and excellent except that it was not private as the long side was glass and therefore one was visible to others in the room while showering. Not all people wish to shower in public. Some people travel with others with whom they are not intimate. Very strange. There is no hotel desk, therefore one must find a server in the dining room to learn how to obtain the room key. Also without a Lobby there is no place to ask questions or find brochures about the area. Also very strange. We were there for a weekend and found that some of the streets around the hotel were closed for Octoberfest festivities, therefore making parking in the area very difficult. We would choose a different hotel the next we are in that area.

Had a great stay. Our room gave onto a sidestreet, and being up one storey we were looking out into fall colours. Quiet overnight. Lovely stylish room. Very clean. Comfortable bed. Easy check-in/check-out process. Great dining and brunch options nearby (the beet and goat cheese salad at the adjoining British pub was wonderful); highly recommend the Mulligan café up the street also for vegan and gluten free options and lovely ambience.

We enjoyed our stay here. It is in a great area. Lots of restaurants within walking distance or good food found in the pub on the main floor. Next time we would request q room that is nit directly above pub and private event room. It was definitely noisy one night. Great many were having fun but a little loud in our room. The earplugs provided were not much help, but appreciated the effort.

There is absolutely no staff other than by phone and a chambermaid who changes the room upon your departure. It wasn’t a problem at all, the facilities were great and it was very nice and quiet. Highly recommend it.
