Gower House Downtown

Room No. 4 is very cramped and small. The furnishings are a bit older, but everything is clean. A slight odor was in the air, but it was not very bothersome - with the window open, it was not even noticeable anymore. The lounge downstairs is practical, where you can make tea, coffee, and toast you brought yourself. There is also a refrigerator. There is also a sofa area in the front where you can sit comfortably if your room is too small. There is no staff on-site; contact is via email and phone. Unfortunately, the hot water heater broke on our last day, so we could not take a shower. Since we did not have a Canadian SIM card, we could not quickly contact the owners. After our complaint, they fairly gave us a refund, and the damage was likely repaired that same day. The location is super in a very pretty street with historic houses, to which the guest house also belongs (jellybean row). From here, you can also easily walk to all the sights due to the central location.

Very disappainting, don't waste your money unless you are looking for something rather inexpensive but are okay with dumpy. My husband and I stayed for one night June 2024 and never again. I reached out several times once back home and did not hear back from the owner. Such disrespect for their guests! Very disappainting!! My issues: -not the room I thought I was getting -no host to greet you and ensure a satisfactory stay or address concerns or answer questions about the local area -room was dumpy and unkept -dead bugs in overhead light -ill-fitting mismatched, wrinkled bed linens, too small to cover 2 adults, only one wrinkled sheet and small wrinkled blanket, we were cold -T.V. didn't work, small dumpy water closet, shower was okay -dirty stairwell, meager breakfast offerings that were unappetizing, stale, over ripe fruit -no one to talk to about my concerns -furniture looked like yard sale discards, paint chips on tables, mismatched lamps, Very poorly appointed room -5th floor room, so many, many steps It is shocking to read other positive reviews. Not sure which rooms would get good reviews. Make sure you get the room and floor if staying! Do not expect any support from inn keeper. The only positive thing is that the inn is near restaurants and a lovely neighborhood.

I would not stay there again. I had front bedroom over the street which was extremely noisy all times of the day. I was really cold the first night and there were no extra blankets or comforters in the room. Bed had one sheet and a very light quilt to cover me. There is no one on-site to help. Morning breakfast was meager. Cereal looked like it was 6 months old. I couldn't even make a pot of coffee after the people who had come down before me finished the pot they made. THERE were absolutely NO coffee filters. Search high and low and none to be found so I was forced to go without. Again no-one on-site to help.
