My daughter and I had a great 3 night stay at The Hotel on Pownal. This is an older hotel that has been updated and modernized. Walking distance to downtown core and restaurants, excellent on-site parking (with electric charging noted), comfortable beds and bedding, and a great breakfast that included a wide selection of gluten free options for my celiac daughter, including a designated space and gluten-free-only toaster. Dairy free options were noted as well. Staff were friendly and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again.

The rooms are nice, as are the staff. But we were unable to access our room and it was nearly -20 C outside! We had if resolved in about 15 minutes, but it was very cold! Would have been 5 stars otherwise! Great value for the room size (a suite) and the location.

The front desk staff people are very courteous and friendly. The room was very comfortable and clean.We liked the bath accessories provided and the towels were thick and white. It was an extra bonus to have the delicious breakfast included.We opted to be "greener" and not have the housekeeping after the first night. We recieved a $10.00 gift card for doing this.We spent it at the Merchantman Bar :-)
