Property is dated but it matches the old building you are staying in. Bathroom was renovated with great water pressure but shower head is low down the wall. Bed was not very comfortable and could do with new mattresses with better back support. Parking out back is convenient and easily accessible from rooms

Central location
We were in Room 3 so plenty of space and loved the separate living room. Had everything we needed. Shame on 2nd Jan there was a surcharge in the hotel especially when you were staying but the bar connected didn’t. Food in bar cooked by hotel was lovely. Central to everything.

Beautiful old hotel. Very quiet. Everything is close. Walked to the penquin exhibit, bought our tickets and returned in the evening to watch the penguins return. No photography allowed during their return. Are at a local restaurant across the street from our hotel. Wonderful stay.
