Sir Andrew Macphail Homestead

Best feature was the location. Easily walkable to downtown restaurants, quay, and parks. Staff was indifferent. Breakfast was good. Liked the fruit and yogurt cups. Eggs and sausages were above average, The property was in need of maintenance. Outside trash bins were overflowing (not emptied over the three days we were there). Litter in parking lots and alley. Gardens in need of care and weeding. Room was small and smelled musty. Bathroom had no hooks for hanging towels, clothes, and toiletries. Shower curtain loops were torn. Bed and pillows were hard. Appreciated that dogs are welcome but was not allowed to leave the dog in the room.

The property consists of several old homes that have been remodelled into a hotel. We stayed in the middle home, which was probably the least attractive of the three homes. The room was OK. It wasn’t particularly well cleaned by housekeeping and there was nothing extraordinary about it. It was OK not great there was air-conditioning. The hotel offers free coffee drinks, but you have to go to the main lobby to get them in the morning. Overall, the staff was lovely and very very friendly. We had breakfast one day, which wasn’t included in our package and it was very good and very reasonably priced. It is the high season, but I wouldn’t stay there again for the price that we paid.
