Nice hotel close to everything

A very comfortable hotel and we had a lovely spacious room. Very close to the city core and the theatres. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

Great place to stay for a reasonable price. Lighting in the rooms should be updated to an optional brighter format.

Really enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly. Only stayed one night and we would stay again. Pillows were our only issue but that is always a matter of preference.

Beautiful property. An old house, but well kept. The Hob Nob restaurant onsite is excellent, with a great little bar to hang out. Convenient easy walk to downtown NoTL and the Shaw Festival Theatre. Will definitely return.

10/10 Exceptional

If you like old quaint, like much of NOTL, you’ll love this 1800’s era converted mansion. Staff is so 5-star helpful and pleasant. Eggs benedict is first rate. Borders onto the oldest golf course in North America, right on the water of L Ontario. Walkable to all main street amenities. Lots to love. Greg, Caledon
