J'ai réservé une nuitée pour le 26 avril 2025 mais le propriétaire avait inscrit le 28 avril. Ensuite il nous a alloué une chambre qui n'était pas nettoyé. Les oreilles n'étaient pas changées. La salle de bain était salle aussi. Dans le bol de toilette il y avait des excréments. Donc nous avons partie de là. Après notre activité de soir nous avons retourné chez nous vers 4h du matin. Jamais j'ai vu ça au Canada.

A fuir

L'hôte est sympathique, toutefois le logement est vraiment médiocre, très bruyant, très peu intime, il n'y avait pas de verrou à notre ''chambre'' dont la porte principale était vitrée. Surtout : la propreté n'était pas du tout au rendez-vous. A 100€ la nuit c'est une aberration !

My flight was delayed so I cannot come before 5am. Later on I cannot book lyft to reach this house on time after call themvdue to cacelling from the drivers. Moreover, it also have traffice because of the accident in the street. When i came they asked me pay extra 20cad because i was late. After check in i felt like iam a student who rent the room from the host. I came back late so i have to inform them. It really uncomfortable to stay just for one night. Everytime I go outside, One guy always come and ask me the house rule, feel like i was spying. So they shoud put on expedia as it is the guest house instead of the hotel and you have to follow all our rule. Never ever come back, terrible service

Not a B&B... more likely a student shelter.

Very old bathrooms with mold, lot of hair in the bathtub, no soap. In the room mattress super thin at 16" from the floor, no tissues, no water even no glass, no garbage bin etc also big hole in the door... and no breakfast... remember its a B&B what a shame.
