Pros:

Great location. Only issue is I am not a sound sleeper, and it's more like a B&B, and like you are in someone's home. I could hear the person in the room close by snooring.

Pros:

Nice rooms in an old building that have been well maintained and probably recently renovated. Having no front desk is odd, but the system with the codes and lockbox worked just fine. I was in room 304 and wi-fi was pretty well non-existent (one bar occasionally), so I presume the rest of the third floor was likewise. We were there on a Friday night of a big local event (Shediac Witches' Crawl), so were subjected to the thump-thump-thump of drums and bass from the dancing room below, so getting to sleep was not as easy as it should have been. The Blue Lobster restaurant, which is in the same building, is a very nice restaurant.

Pros:

Overall great experience. Understandably smallish room which was more than adequate for my needs and certainly great for the price. Automated check-in and room access was flawless. Awesome to be able to park the car and walk wherever you wanted to go.

Pros:

No table, no space for luggage, not even a hook for clothing or damp towel. It appears that the same group also operate the Tate house accross the street , a higher quality inn.

One night stay
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay here, check in was digital and seamless, and the room was quaint but small. We enjoyed our stay here and would certainly stay again. I would even stay a few nights. Restaurant is attached and at the back of the building. The Hotel portion was hard to identify as the restaurant signage was prominent.

Pros:

We stayed in a suite on the 3rd floor - no elevator. We had to hump our bags up 3 flights. The stairway to the 3rd floor was steep and narrow. The bed was way too soft, and offered no support. There was no fridge, which is a hazard if you needed to keep medications cool. It was very clean and the furniture was well-maintained. Great options on pillows

Pros:

We didn’t end up staying at this hotel. First, the hotel is not marked. No where could we find a sign indicating the hotel. Luckily the waiter in the restaurant located at the hotel showed me where the entrance was. The room was very small with a queen bed, a small folding chair, two tiny end tables and a tv on a stand and a bathroom. There was no closet, no dresser, no luggage stand, not even a hook on the wall. When we contacted the hotel at their phone number we could not speak to anyone. They would only text. Luckily the waiter also told us that the hotel across the street was affiliated with the Gabriel. Adrienne there was helpful and ultimately we were offered an upgraded room at the new hotel + the upgrade charge or a refund. We took the upgrade as we didn’t have any other option. They offered nothing for our inconvenience. The Tait hotel was nice. Adrienne at the front desk was lovely and very helpful. I would not recommend the Hotel Gabriel.

Pros:

We enjoyed our stay. The onsite restaurant was very good. To better serve clients, we would suggest towel bars and a shelf or small cupboard in the bathroom.
Overall a nice place to stay.

Pros:

There was a strong musty smell in the lobby but thankfully not in rooms. The room had a 2 inch gap between the door and floor so sound was a major issue. It was challenging to sleep. No blackout curtains. No instructions for the TV. Water pressure was very intense. Outlets to charge devices only on one side of bed. Overall on the surface a cute place to stay and take Instagram photos but not functional for sleeping.
