Pros:

It is a comfortable boutique-y hotel located very close to the waterfront and to the Playhouse. I ate lunch and breakfast at their restaurant and was happy with both meals. There are other good restaurants within a short walk. The room had a writing desk and a couch in addition to the bed/bathroom/tv.

Disappointing.
Pros:

Leaving the next day

Cons:

The reception staff was cold and unwelcoming. The breakfast was the worst I have ever been served over cooked and cold.
This place has lost the charm and warmth it had a decade back. To bad .We will never grace this establishment again

Expérience malgré tout positive dans ce bon hôtel malgré son âge.
Pros:

Confort des chambres, propreté, situation de l'hôtel proche des croisières, l'accueil au moment de l'enregistrement, possibilité de s'asseoir sur la pelouse au bord de l'eau.

Cons:

Il y avait du bruit le soir dans les corridors, les deux petits déjeuners que nous avons pris n'étaient pas bons, mal cuits et froids. Si le personnel à l'accueil a été exemplaire, le service à la clientèle de la part de certains serveurs et serveuses du restaurant n'était pas acceptable : pas de verre d'eau avant le repas, méconnaissance du menu, aucun désir de contact avec les clients, indifférence, voire désintérêt pour leur travail. Je n'ai rien contre les communautés culturelles, mais si des gens de ces communautés sont employés en hôtellerie et en restauration, ils devraient être mis au courant des bonnes pratiques en service à la clientèle. C'est le point le plus négatif de notre séjour.

Underwhelming and not worth the price. Will stay somewhere else next time
Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

Slow breakfast service, room was dated but not charming like it used to be, staff slow but also not around (no one was there when time to check out and we waited for a few mins before just leaving), had a terrible sleep because the pillows were very lumpy and uncomfortable. Breakfast was so-so and not worth it.
