As part of our 3 week trip thru the Canadian Maritimes, we spent 3 nights here. The hotel is in a good location across from the Public Park. Their hotel restaurant/bar was a good place for meals. The cleaning woman was kind and efficient. Self parking is close by and reasonably priced. We enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful hotel, note there are stairs that are unavoidable and probably expected in a hotel this age but I did miss that when originally booking.

Beautiful hotel with an old world charm. Was historic in nature so had smaller older elevators but very beautiful. Clean and beautiful room with very comfortable beds and super soft towels. Front desk staff was not very helpfull or knowledgeable but there was a conference in town so perhaps they were understaffed. Great restaurant with friendly servers, wonderful location across from the park and easily accessible. Would highly recommend
