This is very character hotel with lots of interesting artifacts collected by the ownwer over years, this is not typical hotel with a hotel service etc. If you are looking for a comfortable star service this is not a right place for you but if you are up to some adventure/or something memorable you will find it there.

Gilles was great checking us in and showing us around. The history in this place is worth the stay alone. Dave your pictures for your friends and family and not social media. This is a word of mouth place that needs to be seen to believed. Can’t wait to get back

I couldn’t stay here with my kids, as I didn’t feel comfortable with our room. The hotel didn’t look or feel clean. Our chair in the room was ripped with no material on it, the bathroom was separate from our room. We ended up stayingin a different hotel for the night, when I returned the next day to drop off the key, the door to our room was opened.

The manager was super friendly and easy going. Our room was upgraded at reception and was perfect for us, even travelling with two dogs. The price was reasonable and the area is nice and quiet with access to the Trans Canada trail nearby to walk the dogs. The artwork is the coolest pet. A very unique place out of the way. I would stay there again and recommend to others.

This is a historical building, filled with art work and curiosities. It is clean and comfortable. Because of its age, there is no elevator, so you'll need to be able to climb the stairs.

When we last saw this hotel 14 years ago, it was very well-kept with a nice restaurant serving delicious food & drinks, and unique rooms with interesting artwork abounding. We came back this time to find the restaurant no longer in operation. The rooms are still unique, but the towels are old and thread-bare. The room was clean, but the ‘breakfast room’ and TV rooms were very dirty. The outside areas of the hotel have garbage all around. We should have stayed 14 years ago.

Very interesting and historic old building with lots of old paintings anf artifacts in every room. The place was almost completely dead though on a midweek in July. Restaurant wasn't open and there were no other restaurants in this tiny town. The bar was closed when I attempted to enter at 8pm. The hotel room was basic but clean but I was disappointed by how quiet and empty it was.

It is interesting experience for sure. However, the general Hotel condition is not great. Most importantly, the towels and bed sheets are dirty, everything is covered with dust.

I liked that it is a historic old building and that it has an art gallery in it - lots of interesting art everywhere. Proprietor was pleasant, helpful and welcoming. As it is such an old building there are a lot of stairs to walk up and carry belongings, no elevator. I did not mind that but would not recommend to anyone unable to manage stairs.
