A great choice for a short stay. Facilities are great, noting that it has all the hallmarks of a higher end academic conference centre. The grounds are magnificent, the historic building a treat and the location is superb. I would stay again for sure.

Great hotel when having surgery in London, ON. Closet to Univ Hosp. Great grounds, free parking and easy check-in
Verified review

6/10 Good

Nice property, extremely close to Western University, that’s about the best part. Staff were very nice and welcoming. Very dated property, rooms are dated and not the cleanest. Black ‘stuff’ coming out of the a/c unit, stuck on the ceiling is not the most appealing thing to see as you lay in bed. Price point on Hotels dot com was very high, so I’ll assume it would be even worse through the actual hotel, not worth $350 per night. The restaurant, Asher’s, was okay, nothing spectacular, reasonable prices, breakfast was overpriced.
