A little oasis in the middle of the city. The place is well appointed with all the comforts of home and tons of light. I had the best night sleep I've had on the road in a while. Host greeted me on arrival and then left me to enjoy my stay. No notes.

Pedro

From

Portugal

Everything about the place, from the quietness to the back garden full of diversity was absolutely great, but it all paled when compared to the kindness and simpathy of the lady who hosted us, of whom i sadly forgot the name (And I really shouldn't, since she was so nice...) Also a word for Mathew, who kindly volunteered to help us take our luggage up the stairs. Loved our stay.

The location is super notch top, especially for car/vehicle drivers. I like the proximity to the major road. I also like the way the members of staff knocked on the door and ask if there was anything we needed get done. The customer services/relations were very nice, respectful, and welcoming

Ceramic toilet seat was worn out, toilet chain for flushing kept falling off, my spouse had to fix it several times, no handicap rail beside toilet, 2 big dogs barking throughout my stay. People upstairs were loud. Otherwise the people we met were very friendly. My handicap room was 4-5 doors down the hallway

Have always liked Peterborough, going back to the 60's when I was in the music business. Would be there once a week. Some really good spots to eat but a lot of the downtown core is desolate, especially Peterborough Square.

Good experience visiting sites including Trent University where our daughter graduated from. The weather was cold and windy so we did NOT get to the zoo. Down town is clean and there are good eateries.

The hotel itself was clean and based on price, this hotel is very much due for an interior face-lift. The bathrooms and overall wall paint and upkeep are in need for touch ups and in some cases, a complete regacing paint and repair wise.
