Room was good, clean. We don't spend much time in the room so we don't want to spend a lot of money. Good place to stay. Central location. Unfortnately no parking included

We spent one night and although the room was very small, it was quiet, nice people, clean, no problem with our pet.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and we're happy you were pleased with your stay. We hope you'll consider staying with us the next time you come through town.
Don’t be put off by the “hippy” demeanour of the hotel or the low star rating. The rooms are very clean and very specious. Location is perfect for food and shopping.

Thank you for your review. We're sorry you were disappointed by the lack of coffee service, but at this time we have decided to take away self-serve coffee to avoid the spread of Covid-19. We trust the rest of your stay was pleasant and hope to see you again!
The only good thing about this hotel is location to good restaurants and shopping. Otherwise it has paper thin walls you can here EVERYTHING especially at night. Had to leave a day early because of unresolved nightly disruptions.
We left a night early because we could not be asked to lay in absolute filth anymore. The room was extremely dirty. We went to check out and cancel the last night but a refund was not issued even though the place was horrid. The staff was rude and unprofessional from the moment we got there. One morning I care down and went to get a coffee but the cream and sugar was put away (I drink mine black so I didn’t notice). They were annoyed and then scolded me saying coffee time ended 5 minutes ago. It was an unnecessary comment to make. location is great. Room was very small. Overall I do not recommend this place. Loads of other hotels to choose from close to or in the centre. We took the hit and moved to a hotel a block away. It wasn’t worth staying the last night after how poorly we were treated.

I apologize that you were not satisfied with your stay. I was made aware after your arrival that you were not happy with the amenities we provide and that you expected more. I would suggest in the future that you look in to property descriptions if booking online or contact the property directly with questions if you have expectations of extras such as free breakfast being included with your room. I personally did check the housekeeping in your room during the 3 days you reserved with us and I can attest that it was properly cleaned. If you had communicated your wish to leave a day early with our staff by check-out or even shortly after, instead of the evening, we would have been happy to waive the fee for the third night. As we generally only receive compliments on our staff I am surprised to hear you were treated rudely or unprofessionally, I will be sure to speak with our staff about this.
Basic but clean and a great rate.
Main downside is sound seems to travel well here. We had no issues with late night/early morning noises, but the potential may be there.
Centrally located in downtown Nelson. Friendly staff. Nice clean , comfortable rooms. Not the best for quiet, though. Sound proofing should be improved. Could hear people in the halls and the neighbours talking through the walls all night.
If you don’t mind hotel with no parking, no elevator. (stairs are many and steep), no fridge, no microwave, power socket come off from wall , then this is your hotel. Room also very small ,big enough to fit1queen bed and night table on each side .

Parking was difficult. There is only metered parking and you have to move car every 2 hours. It is free at night and okay to leave parked over night. But town is very crowded and hard to find parking place.
I was a little surprised that there were dogs there. I was glad of the fact, I am an animal lover myself. We had a poor view (the view was the window to our neighbor) but we weren't planning on spending our days there! The beds were comfortable and the rooms seemed pretty clean!
The photography in the hallways was great, convenient ice machine, the free coffee was good, room and hotel were clean and the bed was very comfortable. I also love that this place is pet friendly. My dog also enjoyed his complimentary dog blanket.
I felt it was a fire trap. The window in my room looked out onto a weird elevator shaft area where window air conditioners backed onto. The window was strung with wire. If there was a fire I would not be able to get out of the window.
I also do not feel the service from Expedia was very good. When I emailed to change my reservation no one got back to me. Not inclined to use you again.
Nice friendly service. Very comfy bed. This property has a great location right on the main street, but you may have to park a bit away. Great value in a great little city, everyone is so happy there.
I liked the customer service and location. I did not like that there was no parking and I had to find a place to park on the street and pay for all day parking (going back hourly) and also that there was no elevator (or even mentioned there was not one on the website. Thinking of elderly or people with issues going up stairs).
Location is great. Only thing missing was parking. Being right on Baker street, we had nowhere to park or car other than the street which was meter parking for 1 hour max.
A simple, no-frills place to crash for the night. The room was clean, beds were okay. Location was very central and easy to walk to anything in Nelson.
This is a good basic hotel. All the aspects were there and worked. The Wifi
was particularly good. Parking was a minor hassle, but that is not the fault of the hotel.

Smaller, older hotel with its own charm. Friendly, helpful staff
Stopped in Nelson for one night on our way to Kelowna. Was not expecting much because of the price but was surprisingly pleased despite the price. Reminded us of staying in residence at university with the cinder block walls but it was comfortable and quiet. Absolutely loved the location for a stroll down the Main Street (Baker Street) and finding a wonderful outside patio restaurant Pitchfork (on Hall Street). A wonderful way to spend a summer eve and a one night stop.
