Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

We enjoyed Sullivan’s hospitality and stories.
The location was excellent and the restaurant for breakfast was good.

Cons:

The noise from the bar downstairs at night and having the cupboards above the bed which had sharp edges could easily be hit in the night if your half asleep and needed to go to the washroom.

Beyond Expectations, location, accommodation, and the God was amazing.
Pros:

The Breakfasts were the best and the location of restaurant is front and centre to all the sites. An excellent breakfast before going out for the day of sightseeing.

Cons:

N/A! Excellent, everything was top quality, and multiple choices suited for everyone.

Never again!
Pros:

Location was okay for downtown.

Cons:

The window was a sky light which is no egress. Check in was poorly done and parking was confusing, distant from hotel and bad signage for direction. The room was dark and felt like a basement.

Cool hotel with amazing staff; area gets noisy at night towards the end of the week
Pros:

Cool aesthetic – architecture and decor have plenty of personality. The staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly, shout out to Haley(?) who took the time during her restaurant shift to walk me through the complexities of parking (in a separate building with access control etc.). The Blue on Water restaurant is fantastic with excellent food and service.

Cons:

We had a room facing Water St., and could hear the music overlapping from 5 different bars/clubs until 2am from Thursday onwards. Not much the hotel can do about it but be aware if you are a light sleeper.

Bravo! Great room & great staff!
Pros:

Beautiful. Very nice room with character. Staff is literally top notch. I have not been so impressed in staff at any hotel.

Cons:

Block party in town and difficult to get around. Not property fault. They had parking down street and staff actually came to the lot to ensure we found our way! Wow!

Pros:

The staff went over and above. Room was clean and very nicely done.

Cons:

The bathroom is an odd design due to space. When you stand up from the toilet, you pretty much hit your head on a wall cutting out. I'm only 5'2", so anyone taller would have to be very careful. Also, the floors are VERY slippery when wet.

Clean, comfortable, great stay.
Pros:

Booked last minute after a flight cancellation. Staff were fantastic, so friendly and helpful. Booked a superior room and deluxe suite. Both rooms were very big and with huge bathrooms. The suite had a roof terrace (though because of a nesting gull with a chick, the mother gull would try to attack if you went out on the terrace). Great location on the main street. Breakfast was not included in the room rate, but very good!

Cons:

Missing do not disturb signs for doors, which is a small necessity and meant housekeeping couldn't know i didn’t need them and entered the room while i was in there.
Our rooms where on the 2nd and 3rd floor and you could hear the loud music from the bar below and street outside. While this didn't bother me, it may be a deal breaker to others.
The superior room (205) had a very small, high up, almost skylight - so no proper window. And this is not mentioned on their website or booking.com. Again, did not bother me as just needed somewhere to sleep, but may be a problem for others.

Our 1-Night Stay
Pros:

The room was beautiful. The bathroom was very nice with a very nice bathtub.

Cons:

Our room was on the 2nd floor facing Water St. and it was very loud into the evening. If the room was facing any other direction I think that it would have been a lot quieter. It was also very loud every time someone took the stairs which were right outside of our room.
