“Queen” in a King Suite ❤️
Arrived very early to hotel, amazed at the great check in I had with the young lady! Got me in earlier than I expected. Room wasn’t quite ready but would be in less than a couple hours. They held my luggage so I could go wander. I returned a bit later, to be given an upgrade! From a standard to a King Suite! Thank you Sylvia Hotel and Hotels.ca! I have never been upgraded like this. Very much appreciated, I felt like a “queen” in the King Suite❤️😃👍

Outdated but clean
Overall great. Outdated but clean. No soundproofing though. I could hear a room next to us, and the room across from us when leaving the room. Water pressure was great, but drained very slowly. Fridge made tol much noise. Temperature was great, sheet was clean and comfortable. Pillow was not super comfy.

My little escape was very comfortable. The room wasn’t fancy, but it was large and clean and i slept well. I don’t usually eat much in the hotels where i stay, but the food here was excellent and i ate there everyday.

Nice time at a historic building in great locatio
Overall a great stay. All staff are welcoming and helpful. Washroom is a bit outdated, especially the shower but nothing to complain about really.
