Shelter
It started with drunk native people outside and inside.
The receptionist was rude. Everything old and smells. Room had no lights. I had use my flashlight to go to bathroom. Whole was there I noticed the shower is dirty. I grabbed my stuff and left without even asking a refund.
It’s disgusting. Looks like a shelter.

Loved the space and location of the hotel. Breakfast was amazing at the restaraunt!
Did not like the mandatory clientelle often visibly under substance influence. It is a pity, and not a fault of owners.

It is a unique property with a deep history connecting back to history. It reminds me of the Royal York downtown Toronto.

I just had a great stay at the Prince Arthur! Is the hotel older? Yes but it has tons of character. Are there odd people hanging around outside? Yes, but security is there and I was never bothered by any of them. The staff were friendly and greeted myself and my dog like long lost friends. The waterfront area across from the hotel is beautiful and very walkable. The room was nice, clean and the bed was very comfortable. All in all, a great stay.

Waterfront view was a plus-but the first person I met at the front desk (Marcie) was rude and not helpful-even the next day when I asked about a coffee shop close by-she said there was nothing yet I found a lovely place 2 blocks away.
The construction didn’t help but that’s not their fault.
