Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The room was spacious with a separate seating area, all decked out in grand navy and gold decor with beautiful antique furniture. Facing the water with a king bed for just over $100 per night made it a fantastic deal. The only downside was the somewhat repetitive dining options, but they were still tasty. The service was exceptionally friendly and professional, and the location was unbeatable, steps away from the ferry terminal and with a stunning view of the harbor.

The hotel is in a convenient location, beautifully appointed with low ceilings in the rooms. The special offer running during my stay made it a great value at $95.00 Canadian per night, but the noise from the street could be bothersome due to the single-pane windows.

The hotel's location is fantastic, right across from the Black Ball Ferry and within walking distance to Fishermans wharf and James Bay. The rooms offer a charming view of the harbor but are on the third floor without an elevator, which could be challenging for guests with health conditions. The breakfast is charming but lacks variety, especially during the holiday season.

Staying at this hotel was like stepping back in time with its preserved historical charm, complete with antique furniture and one of the best king size beds I've ever slept in.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were charming with a view of the beautiful harbor and airplanes landing on the water, and the evening lights were mesmerizing. The antique furniture and the king-size bed with a pillow menu were a dream, but the early morning noise from the kitchen extractors was a drawback.

The hotel's room wasn't aligned with the picture I booked, but the 'turret' room was great overall despite some noise issues. The service was extremely attentive and accommodating, although high tea was unavailable due to staffing. The location was ideal right on the inner harbor, making it convenient to explore nearby attractions. The dining was not particularly remarkable, but the experience was elevated by free car parking. The facilities offered dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry services, and welcome drinks.

My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms, although lacking a view, were spacious and cozy with a charming claw foot tub and comfortable beds. The stocked antique bookcase added a unique touch that you don't find in regular hotels. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly helpful and welcoming. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of everything, just steps away from the ferry terminal. The dining experience, while fun and excellent, was slightly hindered by being delivered to the room, but the beautiful harbor view made up for it. The facilities were excellent, offering everything needed for a comfortable stay.

This hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms are spacious and clean, offering a private balcony with a view of the inner harbor, which is lovely. However, the rooms could use a bit of work. The service stands out, especially Shay and Tracy from the Huntingdon Manor, who go out of their way to make your stay memorable. The location is superb, with everything within walking distance and right on the harbor. The dining options are basic but reasonable, although the breakfast spread could use a bit more variety.
