Lovely setting. Very easy access to downtown and harbour. No air conditioning, and no elevator, so possibly not ideal for those with limited mobility.

Staff was amazing! Food was amazing! Garden was amazing! I think there should be a garbage can beside the fridge and one in the bathroom. When someone is in the washroom, no place to put garbage.
