We booked a superior king room - city view. We received a king back alley view with loading doc noise. AC was less than ideal (weak) hence room very hot. Common area closed at 8:00 pm and does not open until 8:00 am. Should extend to accommodate travellers who would like to visit. Rooms very nice / clean. Breakfast average continental

Friendly staff, Very unique boutique hotel, nice decos for lobby, basic breakfast, different room type than we initially thought. But for this small town, a bit pricey.

Uniquely designed and decorated! Renovated building with theme rooms and nostalgia items made for a fun stay. Check in and greeting by Tina was so friendly and helpful. Breakfast included was lovely with lots of options to start off the day! Location was fantastic, walking distance to great area to view this beautiful historic town. Highly recommend this stand out hotel.

The room was very comfortable, spotless and beautiful. The receptionist was super kind and helpful with recommendations for dinner and information about where to see penguins!! So we super recommend the hotel!!!

Situation of hotel is awful-on busy traffic light junction of main highway with no sleep all night as loud Lorries and cars blasting music outside. We should have realised sooner as they left ear plugs in our room! Room smelt of damp and breakfast was minimal with cheap product you can buy from local supermarket. Although we paid for two nights we left after one-but they did not seem bothered or ask if they could correct the issue in any way-just appalling. Be warned!
