Wonderful traditional hotel-comfortable, friendly and great food-on-site parking an added bonus.
Pros:

Wonderful traditional hotel full of character. Crisp white linens, heavy old pieces of furniture and actual keys to the rooms rather than beepy cards-hope it never changes! Breakfast was superb and we also enjoyed a couple of excellent everning meals in the dining room. Friendly and informal-staff were attentive and couldn't do enough for you. Much appreciated!

Cons:

It was perfect and we'd definitely go back-nothing we didn't like!

Pros:

Very clean. Able to park on street outside. Located on square so downtown shops and restaurants close by. Ate dinner one night at restaurant in hotel and dinner, service was excellent.

Cons:

On check in clerk insisted I didn’t order a twin for two sons and tried to give us a double. Had to pull out my email to prove it. Rooms so very small which is understandable with age of hotel. But tiny bathroom was an issue since no countertop to put toiletries or toothbrush. Only towel rack was in shower so clean towels became damp. Disappointed in breakfast- limited menu and buffet table was short on rolls, croissant,etc both mornings.

Pros:

L'emplacement, le personnel au petit déjeuner, le petit déjeuner. La chambre atypique. Salle de douche refaite à neuf. Bonne literie.

Cons:

Bien qu'il soit annoncé qu'il y a un parking sur place, celui-ci est compliqué d'accès. L’accueil par la réceptionniste présente à notre arrivée.
