Victoria's Historic Inn

We arrived at the Victoria Inn, no vehicles in the parking lot, not a good sign. A young man showed us our room. We had booked for two nights. Smell of old but to expect in a Heritage Inn. We opened all the windows to leave fresh air in. The room was ok, bathroom renovated and clean. We stayed in the suite room. The first night only one pillow case on a pillow, bed sheets didn’t feel freshly washed. No pillow case on other pillow. Old towels that need to be replaced. TV did not work no service. Were ready to leave the next morning but asked the young university foreign gentlemen who works there to wash mattress cover, all sheets and towels which he did and appreciated. Ee stayed the second night. Young workers were very nice and ready to help. The lawn was not mowed, could be due to no mowing before June, however the property needs to be updated and money invested into it. Too bad because nice location and walking distance to activities and restaurants. Would I refer friends to this Inn not really.

From the time we arrived at Victoria’s Historic Inn we felt something was off. The building is very rundown and in need of repair. There was a host present but not a warm welcome. Our room was not very clean. Early in the evening the telephone in the vestibule area kept ringing and nobody would answer it. Eventually i went downstairs and unplugged the phone. In the middle of the night the telephone in our room rang a few times, there was a strange noise when I answered it and I ended up unplugging it as well. In the morning when we went downstairs for breakfast the Inn seemed unusually quiet. There were no staff around. There was no breakfast. The kitchen was dark and it seemed like they had no intention of serving breakfast. We left our room key on the table in hall as instructed and left. NEVER TO RETURN!

Absolutely disgusting totally disappointing fireplace didn’t work jacuzzi had about 3 inches of dirt built up sheet smelled so bad that we had to take them off the bed no breakfast no coffee no nothing nor a response back from telling how disappointed we were in there stay don’t waste ur time or money

The Inn is certainly in need of refreshing - and please bring back breakfast year round! At the very least, bottled water, a tea and coffee station available 24/7. Things are looking worn out, and only one full size towel in the bathroom is not okay!

I stayed here for 2 nights as part of a photography tour of Nova Scotia. I would NOT stay here again. The house is beautiful but definitely needs some upkeep. The rooms were not clean and were not serviced at all during my stay. One of the other members of our group had to request someone to come and change the sheets on her bed as they were not clean. For breakfast, no one appeared until we finally called from the lobby phone. There was one choice for breakfast, no juice or cereal/milk. When we returned in the evening, our dishes from that morning were still on the table, exactly as we had left them. One of the rooms is immediately off the dining room and the noise from the phone in the lobby and the banging of dishes etc continued until well into the night. From my second floor room, I could hear 3 men talking below my room and this continued until at least 2 AM. I finally got up, opened the window and asked them to please be quiet. Whoever is operating this B&B obviously has NO clue about how to run a successful business. I will never stay there again.

The pictures on the website do not show how it looks now. The grass has not been mowed this year and the weeds are just as tall as the grass. Bushes are growing out of control. The tablecloths in the dining room had crumbs on them from the days before. The Keurig machine made the coffee taste funny which led me to believe it had not bee cleaned in a long time. The toilet seat in our bathroom was so loose it was almost falling off. The grime around the connections was so thick I did not want to try tightening it. The sink took forever to empty so the drain was most likely clogged. In spite of leaving a sign on our door to please make up our room while we were out the first day, we did not get fresh towels or our bed made for our second night there.. We do nor recommend staying there. We chose it because we would be close to the University for an event we were attending. Unfortunately I did not check the reviews here first.

I would NOT recommend this Place at all. There was no personal, contact. Very noisy, Door slamming until at least 2am. Very little sleep on our 1 night stay. If we had booked for long we would have checked out. What else can say, just not a place I would recommend!

I would not rank this as 4 Star. It is a beautiful building, but it is quite tired. It is apparently hard to keep clean, is quite noisy, is showing its age, and the antique furniture, albeit lovely, is inappropriate for travellers or is uncomfortable. If you want to stay in a beautiful old Victorian home, it certainly is that. The breakfast was very basic, but the staff member was friendly and tried hard.

We had stayed here 6 years ago and loved it. The inn itself is nice, but has badly deteriorated. Our room, while bright and nice looking at first glance, was filthy. First step into the bathroom, there was a plastic champagne glass on the floor. Towels clean but old and threadbare. Tub and sink were clean. Area rugs and floors were filthy, looked like they hadn’t been vacuumed in ages. Dust everywhere, cobwebs in corners and closets. Sheets appeared to be dirty, and very old at least. The caretaker was nice, but at no time did we hear or see him cleaning. The bathroom in the main entry area was filthy—sink almost brown it was so dirty, mirror had old water/splash marks all over it, nothing was clean. Breakfast was included but we skipped it. Even the automatic coffee maker was so dirty, it had layers of dried coffee all over it. The whole dining area was dirty—side table, dining tables had dirty table cloths over them. No way we were eating there. Should have read the reviews first - don't make our mistake.
