    You know, not bad. Great selection of craft beers so you can choose something to like. Random crowd and tourist wanderer vibe.

    We were trying to find a place to stay in Nelson while using points and booked Honest Lawyer…read moreonline, when we arrived, we realized we were in for an experience. This is not your typical hotel/motel. It has character, we drove around finding the reception which was this very small office where she gave us the details about which room we were staying at and we drove in a circle to find the room. One great thing is you can park right next to the door so you're not dragging your luggage too far. The receptionist did let us know that they were having an event in the back area near our room, while we were driving to the back we did see people setting up near our room entrance and walking past it. We opened the door with the key given to us and the room was definetly more like Airbnb vibes from 1980s. I didn't do enough research to see if there is history with this hotel. There was no AC in the hotel so we tried to figure out what we were going to do in the night because it already felt warm, there was a fan from the 90s there with layers of dust which we turned on. We opened the windows however the second it was open, ants started crawling in so we closed those. We were so tired from the day, we decided not to go join the party outside. We wounded down and fell asleep. I am thankful we only booked this place for one night. I did like there was a lot of space and counter space for luggage etc. but it is very outdated- old, rusty, dusty, recommend bringing shower slippers, house slippers and more.

    Stayed at the hotel while on vacation. Rooms are VERY outdated and need to be remodeled. Bed was…read moreok, we slept well and it was quiet. The toilet handle was broken and wouldn't flush. Ceiling in bathroom has peeling/chipped paint. The shower/tub was very outdated and the shower curtain smelled musty and was moldy. The faucet has separate faucets for hot and cold, which is annoying and inefficient. Room temp control is an oscillating floor fan... windows open but no screens. There is no coffee or breakfast on site until 10a weekdays (no breakfast weekdays at all) and 9a weekend and nothing close walking distance if you wish to have something before they open. They do offer tea and powdered coffee in your room but that's not my cup of tea! Staff also cannot recommend somewhere for coffee when asked. Had dinner first night and the service was just ok, ordered the salmon salad special and my bf ordered the steak cooked on the 400 degree stone. Which was really cool! Would have been nice to have some kind of instruction on proper cooking to medium temperature, but our plates were just dropped off without explanation. Please note there is no elevator. So you must carry your large bags up the stairs. Hangars are not removable in closet and there are no hooks to hang anything in the bathroom.
