The room was quiet, for the most part. I booked a sea view room but was given a room on the other side with no view and traffic noise. No reason for changing my booked room was given. When I checked in, I was told that I was being given an upgrade but not sure what that was based on. The hot water in the bathroom sink did not work - always cold. Only good thing was the water pressure in the shower. The hotel is in poor condition- looks like no one is doing general upkeep at all. Never saw anyone working in the hotel. Ran out of toilet paper so had to use Kleenex!

So, I booked because of the reviews - but it genuinely wasn’t my experience unfortunately. Perhaps I just got a sub standard room. The rooms are small, and nowhere to work (tiny desk that didn’t fit my laptop and uncomfortable chair that didn’t pull out enough because of space). I was in town for business so this mattered. The room was very noisy - people coming and going all night with the exterior doors slamming every time. I stayed 3 nights and this was endless. There’s nowhere to eat food without balancing on the end of the bed. Breakfast was served between 9&1pm - not sure I understood this as everyone had left by the time I did every morning at 8:30. Wind chimes around the outside of the building went crazy with the wind (I know, I know, that’s the point but I mean crazy - we are a couple of blocks from the ocean so wind is, well, expected!). My bed had a row of ‘popped’ springs so I had to sleep sideways! I could go on but I won’t - it’s a cute character building with tons of curios. The Manager was sweet, the parking was great - the coffee in the room was good - access to microwaves and kettles/iron etc in the basement. Not for me but certainly an experience!

One of a kind boutique hotel in a historic neighborhood. The owner has gone the extra mile and it shows throughout. Feels like staying in a museum with the modern amenities, great choice if you're into the aesthetic. Breakfast of your choice, which includes Eggs Benny, each morning with your stay is a great personal touch. The only negative, being an old building, are lots of stairs and hearing doors opening, closing and being slammed by other guests during the day. I'm sure the owner could add some felt pads to the door frames to help with the latter. Overall highly recommended.

I was pleasantly surprised with the vibe of the Old Courthouse. In an age of sterile and boring hotels this one will knock your socks off? Why because it's like stepping back in a time machine to a bygone era. At first you might be taken aback with the eccentricity but within minutes being in a museum will hopefully give you a sense of nostalgia. BC at its best..I'll be back. P.s. Breakfast was AAA
