What guests think

At Clocktower Inn, travellers highlight the historic charm and central, walkable location, with many praising friendly staff and the on‑site bistro; recurring downsides include limited staffing, lots of stairs with no elevator, and maintenance problems like unreliable hot water.

Rooms have vintage character but vary widely; some feel small or dated, certain units offer only a tub, and multiple guests encountered non‑working TVs or lacked modern conveniences such as an in‑room fridge. Cleanliness is often good, but some reviews cite pests, mould, and broken fixtures. Expect a distinctive stay best for travellers who value heritage charm over modern, full-service amenities.

Our first time here and we loved it. The front hostess was great and the room was both clean and very cozy. Our room didn’t have a fridge, but there is an entire kitchen available on the 3rd floor. It has cereals, coffee, bread w/toaster. I would definitely recommend this stay. Located right in the downtown area, so it was perfect. The only issue some may have, are the stairs. If you have difficulty with stairs, I would recommend the 2nd floor. That’s what you get with a heritage building. Great stay !!!!

We had a good visit here but would like to advise travelers that due to the number of stairs and no elevator (as it is an extremely old building), it may not be suitable for older, or mildly handicapped people. We stayed 5 nights so the stairs became an excellent form of exercise. The communal kitchen was very well stocked and added to our stay. We very much enjoyed the Bistro and the staff there. Thanks to Nancy for looking after our needs upstairs. Thanks also to Nicole for her friendly welcoming demeanor. Bobbie and John

The hike up 58 stairs to our room on the 3rd floor, although not unpleasant, was a bit of a challenge for us 80 year olds with suitcases. Perhaps the summary of the Clock Tower Inn on the web should include this.

Staying at the clocktower was unique. Not your typical hotel. Very classic old building. Note there is no elevator, and you have to climb steep stairs to get to the rooms. My favorite part was walking to the restaurant where i had awesome wine and pizza, made fresh from the oven. Also charming was the pigeons cooing on the roof.

There was no breakfast, the frig was broken so milk, yogurt, bread and everything was bad. No pastries or fruit. Nothing to eat, even though was to be a breakfast. Often no hot water, ran water for 15 mins and still no hot water to wash face at night, in morning got 1 minute of hot water then when shampoo in hair, water went cold again to rinse off shampoo. The light fixture had a broken switch, the trap in the shower was not attached so it moved around shower floor. There was no one to contact for any of these problems, the bar restaurant for contact did not open until 11 am, closed at 9 am, and was closed on Sundays. Overall just a terrible experience, worst ever for an Inn or bed and breakfast. I sent an email after we checked out, and no one ever responded to our concerns, that just shows how little they care about their clients after they take your money.

We thought the hotel room was beautiful for the first 30 seconds simply because the bed looked pretty, but as we began to look around we realized how dirty and beaten up the room was. The carpet, walls, trim, furniture, shower and so on were filthy, torn, mouldy and sad. The air conditioning was the worst part. It didn’t have a constant humming sound, instead it coughed, hacked and screamed all night. We didn’t get a wink of sleep. At 5am, we thought it was going to explode! The shower couldn’t get hot or stay hot. There was black mould in the shower and the corners of the rooms were filled with black muck.

I enjoyed my stay at Clock Tower and like the facility, and was very clean, quiet, nice breakfast facility included. However, the TV did not work and was told the cable box was broken. They did give me a discount when I reported it on Aug 16, when I arrived. Next day when I showered, there was no hot water, only cold. There was no one there that Sunday morning, Aug. 18, 2024 to report this to and no one picking up my call when I called the desk. I was leaving that day and was not able to speak with anyone about this.

Hot water didn’t work in the sink. Not even after waiting all the time suggested by the “notes” about their water system. The curtains were not hanging properly and came off the rail when we opened them in the morning. The breakfast area was bad: no milk at all. Hardly anything on offer. Room decorations were lovely: that was a high point.

Stay was alright, having to carry around a key is annoying. Having no fridge is a big inconvenience in this day and age. Only garbage is in the bathroom. Small room for the price definitely not worth it. Bathroom is beautiful pretty much the same size as room. Told there was parking in the back didn’t see any signage for parking. No fridge and minimal counter space for the price as well as ac that requires the window to be open with the train blasting their horn every hour is definitely not ideal. I’m nice I’ll rate it 3 stars if this was in a populous city I’d give it 1.

This place has history. We enjoyed our stay here coming from the USA for a funeral. It was an excellent place for "home-base" for a couple of days. We ate at the Inn for dinners and there was a kitchenette for very basic breakfasts. The hot water supply was temperamental. Enjoyed the downtown location and we had no problem parking for free. We enjoy supporting local businesses and off-the-beaten path places. This was a great stay.
