Cardinal Inn is a red brick century home from the late 1800s. Since its original construction, the building has undergone several additions, resulting in the distinctive structure that stands today! Situated in downtown Cornwall, this centrally located building offers convenient access to all the amenities that Cornwall has to offer.
At Cardinal Inn, we strive to provide a truly unique experience. Each room has been thoughtfully designed to offer a distinct ambiance for your stay!
The Inn sits just north of Second St. on Adolphus St. which is neatly located within walking distance to the core downtown restaurants and amenities.
