  A nice place but needs work

  Liked: Location is excellent

  Disliked: Our room was very hot, it was room 001. It has no windows for ventilation and management was not able to properly control the issue. They upgraded us for our last day to a suite which was nice and the temperature much better, the internet and Netflix did not work in upgraded room

  Liked: Amazing location - very convenient to tourist attractions and transit. Lovely building incorporating elements of the original building (stone staircase) while having modern comforts. Room had a window onto the staircase/inner courtyard, not onto the street, so it was quiet. Very comfortable bed.

  Disliked: No ventilation in the bathroom so the bathroom got very steamy and there was a slight musty smell. Despite adjusting the thermostat we were not able to get airflow from the HVAC - we were able to adjust temperature just using the window but that may have been an issue if very hot or very cold.

  Historic hotel in great location

  Liked: The location was excellent being close to the St Jean area. Comfortable room with lovely shower room. Very quiet, no outside noise. However noise did carry through from adjoining bedroom

  Disliked: Breakfast was repetitive and choices did not reflect website options. One member of staff was particularly unfriendly although the rest were very good.
