Had to run the shower hot only tap for at least 10 minutes before it got lukewarm. The room was nice and clean. The door lock was very temperamental. No daily cleaning service. The front reception were not at the desk most of the time but were very helpful with carrying my suitcase upstairs. Felt safe there with very quiet surroundings.

Not good!
Way way overpriced for the quality of this place. Hot water takes around 20 mins to come through, shower didn’t work, horrible plug in smellies and no hairdryer. This place is very dated

It was old like I expected but there is no one at the property all day and all night and during the day the back and front doors are open, the back door closes at 11 Pm so you have to walk around the front to get back in and no key is required for entry. With no staff on site its a bit unnerving. The room floor was slanting, the bed was slanting and there was no hot water even after running the tap for 5 minutes. THE OWNERS LIVE 30 MINUTES OUT OF TOWN and have to come check you in. They did come let us in early so we did appreciate that. When we left in the morning the wall on the other side of the hall has a large crack running the full length of the wall. It is a very old building with not much upkeep. The room had two shag area rugs. One as you walked in and one infront of the bed. Not sure what they are hiding but it makes you wonder. The Top floor is closed off as well as the restaurant and the bar.It is said to be haunted and we never encountered anything. You do get Netflix, paramount plus and cable so that is a plus. The rates are rather high for what you get, the bed was old and hard and felt like sleeping on a box spring. Lots of old stuff to look at in the lobby. If we had seen two girls at the end of the hallway, we would have been gone. We paid 124.00 which is WAY to high.

Heritage Hotel Charm
The hotel is old but has a lot of character and charm, and interesting history. It does need some renovations. The room was clean, i do recommend a recycle bin, some sort of cupboard or shelf in the bathroom, and hair dryer. The bed frame was a spring so it had some squeeks, may need to upgrade the bed in the future. The bar and resteraunt were closed which was to bad. Also the third floor was closed off and unusable. I did find it odd that there was no staff or employees, even at check out. The only time we saw someone was when we arrived. Back in its day it was probably a beautiful hotel. The biggest downfall was when you first walk you can really smell a musty old scent, which we were a bit sensative to, the good thing we could not smell it in our room.

This hotel had no hot water, no plug for bath, the room was extremely cold and horribly outdated. I felt like I should be paid to stay here. The one staff member we saw was a nice guy, the facility was dated, not in a cool vintagey way like I thought, but as in completely run down, smelled old and not taken care of.

Hello, thank you for your valuable opinion. There is no problem with the heating in our hotel. Is it because you forgot to turn it on? Your room is farthest from the hot water and you need to delay it for two minutes. Thank you for understanding.

It was pleasant but not overwhelmingly comfortable (bed) or private (large gap under door to our room and appeared to be thin walls). I guess I am used to certain comforts. The history of the building was interesting.

This beautiful old charming hotel is located in the Townsite The staff is very accommodating The matress is the worst I have slept on ever as the matress ( spring) feels as old as the building, being creaky and terribly saggy. The coffee had pieces missing which caused a flood of drabs and coffee all over. The staff, when notified, were eager and quick to replace it

This is an opportunity to stay in a heritage hotel. The owners are lovingly restoring the property. Expect heritage quality. Expect funky and antiqued. The owner is extremely kind and accommodating. The area is in the heart of the heritage walk and is right by the old pulp mill. Fantastic opportunity for all photography buffs!!! I would have liked some extra blankets and the banquet hall is right next door. So, we got to hear all the wedding festivities. But, we had a portable air conditioner and that alleviated much of the sounds. I will definitely be back. Can't wait to see the future restoration of one of Canada's oldest hotels

This is a very old hotel that has passed its prime. The staff are very friendly and work hard to keep it up, but it needs more care than simple maintenance. Staff were also difficult to find. Water pressure was minimal and the toilet had trouble flushing. It would be help if a map of the town with restaurants and amenities were provided. This section of town didn’t seem to have anything close by. I didn’t have an unpleasant stay, but when returning to the area, I would find an alternate location to stay.

We knew what we were getting into booking here regarding the old building and being next to the old mill (no longer functioning), however, we did not expect the most uncomfortable mattress of all time. It was so hard I had to check to see if it was a boxspring, not a mattress. I know the staff were kind and doing their best with a wonderful old building, but the one thing that should be the first priority is at the very least to have a comfortable mattress!
