Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved this hotel! The location is superb, right in the heart of Silverton with a great restaurant attached. The rooms are beautifully renovated, and the bathroom is spacious with a gorgeous design, even featuring fans for added comfort. The service was impeccable, from the attentive waiters to the efficient housekeeping staff. The dining experience was delightful with whole wheat bread rolls included. A truly remarkable stay!
The hotel is perfectly located in the center of downtown Silverton, offering a delightful stay with very comfortable beds in the gorgeous renovated rooms. The service is exceptional, from attentive waiters to efficient housekeepers. The dining experience, featuring organic Quebec cheeses, is a highlight. However, the hotel lacks certain facilities that could enhance the overall experience.
The hotel is nestled in the heart of Silverton with character and a large bathroom. It could benefit from having a table or counter added in the bathroom. The location is convenient to everything in town, with a fantastic restaurant next door, but the dining experience could be improved.
