“This boutique hotel's European architectural nods are a welcome surprise in Sarnia. I particularly appreciate the in-house dining options, from the restaurant to the traditional pub, especially after a day exploring the nearby St. Clair River and downtown. While some may find the bathrooms compact due to the building's history, the updated amenities and attentive staff more than compensate.”
