We stayed here 4 nights. Based on the other 2 reviews, I think they must have made a few improvements. Here are the pros and cons. You make up your own mind based on what’s important to you. Pros: Good location – just a few blocks from downtown NOTL in a quiet neighborhood. It really was clean. And I'm picky about that. 2 bathrooms – with only 2 bedrooms that’s hard to find Both beds were comfortable Washer/dryer – I wouldn’t normally use this on vacation but it happened to come in handy Nice quality towels and linens Cons: No internet service as advertised. This was a big con for us. One of us had to be connected several times a day and having to get to a Tim Horton’s to do this was quite inconvenient. There was some explanation as to a storm that had knocked it out the week before but we spoke to a number of locals about this and none of them thought that made any sense. Neither did we. After multiple inquiries we gave up. Then after we had already checked out on Sunday, we received a text saying she would look into getting it fixed. Why would we care on the day we were scheduled to leave? No space to put your things in the king bedroom.

No space to put your things in the king bedroom. We had to put our suitcases in the sitting room and our little things on the dining table. If you had to use the sitting room as a bedroom, it would be quite tight. In fact, there's no space to pull out both the futon and the pullout couch if you needed to.
Televisions are only in the bedrooms. We would have liked a tv in the stting room to watch the news in the morning or when we all got home at night. We didn’t use the bedroom tvs, which were taking up valuable space for our things!
Very tight shower in the main bath and poor water pressure.
The front door sticks – they left WD40 for us to spray it. At $250/night - really?!?!?!?
The $250 value gift basket is just coupons that can be found in advertising brochures around the area and coupons for complimentary wine tastings that are pretty much complimentary anyway if you buy anything at all at each winery so we didn’t see this as a perk.
This place is probably an allergy-sufferers nightmare – fur, feathers, throws, pillows, fake flowers everywhere. Fortunately, none of us suffer from allergies but if you do, you may want to consider this. In general, there was just so much “stuff” everywhere making the place feel rather cramped.
