Perfect location and very clean! The front desk staff are super helpful and friendly. Parking is included. Breakfast diner downstairs was amazing. Would definitely stay here again! There is no elevator though, so make sure you can handle your luggage up the stairs. We were prepared for this :)

Outstanding staff, great location. I loved staying at this hotel. It is conveniently located to walk to the parliament buildings, Beacon Hill Park and downtown area restaurants, stores and waterfront. My room was spacious with two comfortable queen beds.

I would not stay anywhere else. This 100+ year old hotel has charm and character with antiques throughout the building. Great location too. The pub and cafe in the basement are a locals hangout, so what does that tell you? The food and service was the best! Thanks Rick, Roy and the Front desk manager (never got your name...) for your service. Bar Manager was great to talk to. I'll be back!!

We decided on the JBI late morning wondering if Breakfast was still on. It was. Excellent choice and we enjoyed. Very good meals with excellent service. We like this place. Plenty of parking on site. The staff seem to enjoy one another and the local clientele is obvious. When an establishment has locals mix with tourists they have a winner. These folks have it nailed.
