Negative Reviews
negative:
Limited parking available
This property only has three designated parking spots and, therefore, some guests will have to go without one. Those who end up without an on-site parking spot will have to find a parking lot in the area, with the closest one being about a five minute walk away.
negative:
Noise from the street
There have been complaints about street noise making its way into the rooms at this bed and breakfast. The property is close to a busy restaurant district, so when people are walking through the neighbourhood after a night on the town, it can create some noise.
negative:
No central air conditioning
Guests have complained that the property doesn't have central air conditioning. As a result, the rooms tend to get quite hot during the summer and rooms on the upper floors are a little bit stuffy at times.
