Great location, but for the price we would have expected a little more. A cooked breakfast was standard a few years ago, now it's a continenal breakfast. And, we had to ask, both mornings, for more brown bread. We found garbage under the bed in our room.

Staying in this historic house was an absolute pleasure. The hotel is very nice and full of character. The room was clean, and the air conditioning worked wonderfully to keep things comfortable. Parking next to the house is available. They offer a simple breakfast to get your day started, but if you prefer a hot breakfast, you can easily order and pay for one. Highly recommended for a unique, comfortable stay!

The customer service from the staff was top-notch. With every interaction it is very clear that the staff care about the customer experience. They are helpful and knowledgeable about the area. They try very hard to meet the needs of the customers. For example, when we checked-in a staff member helped us with our bags as we were staying on the 3rd floor, and when I left my make-up bag behind they arranged for it to be mailed to me. Other highlights include the delicious breakfast that was included. The scones were warm and delicious! The house is charming with a wrap-around deck which is lovely for sitting to sip your morning coffee. The house is about a 10 minute walk to the waterfront so it is very conveniently located.
The house is old and does not have air conditioning. We stayed in July during a heatwave. There was an air-conditioning unit in the room that vented out the window. It was very noise and disruptive to sleeping. Additionally, the bed was tiny. It was definitely not the queen size we expected. There is no fridge in the room. The bathroom is very tiny and there is no counter space to put your belongings. Parking is limited and you might have to park on the street if you do not get a space.
Overall, excellent customer service, but the room needs some upgrades.

Didn’t love the really loud air con machine - despite putting it in night mode. Very little left at breakfast when I went at 0915 and pastries would be better covered (even with a napkin) with all the flies around.

Le fait d'avoir un système de climatisation portable n'est pas pratique: il prend beaucoup de place et il fait beaucoup de bruit. Les chambres ont certainement besoin d'un petit investissement pour installer des systèmes moderne et mureaux.

We stayed in the cottage in a small room. The bed was lovely, nice linens and duvet, but the mattress could have used a soft topper. The furniture, one chair, a desk and night table, was very old and scuffed up. Everything was very clean though, and it was pretty good value.

Breakfast was an interesting mix of pastries, breads, yoghurt, granola, cheese and cold cuts. Good coffee.

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly, which I appreciated. However, the building is quite old. We stayed on the lower floor, and whenever guests walked around upstairs, the floor would noticeably shake, which was sometimes disruptive.

Another issue was the toaster in the breakfast area. It was very slow and appeared to be malfunctioning, so guests had to wait a long time just to toast their bread. I would recommend replacing it with one or two newer toasters. This would be a small investment for the hotel but would greatly improve the breakfast experience for guests.

Overall, the hotel was clean and comfortable, but a few updates would make a big difference.

The Inn is beautiful! It’s very clean. It’s the first bed and breakfast I have stayed in where a hot breakfast is not included. They offered muffins for free. As well our room was virtually in the lobby. It was very loud starting at 6:00am. Do not reserve the classic king. When I said something they said I shouldn’t have booked online. They were quite rude!

Staff are very kind and thorough. This is a historic home that is very clean and the location is great. Parking is for a limited number of cars but there is plenty of street and a city parking lot in very close proximity. Room size was very small and door/lock is old and can be tricky to use. The morning continental breakfast has nice options with the options of purchasing a sit down breakfast for a bigger appetite. The coffee sits in a carafe but is cold so that was disappointing for a morning coffee drinker.

Continental breakfast was good.
The only bad thing I could say about our stay was that it was very noisy early in the morning. This room is on the main floor. The people staying above us were up extremely early and walked heavily across the floor. The dining room was also very close. We could hear people going up and down the stairs. And the noise from the eating area carried to our room.
Other than that it was a very unique and interesting place to stay.
