Comfortable, convenient, easy boutique B&B with all the features of home. The Otis team has thought of everything and are there onsite to make sure you have a lovely visit.
Can't beat the location! The parking is a bit of a nightmare, so brush up on your parallel parking skills if you decide to drive. Everything else was wonderful.

Place was immaculate. Nicely furnished. Very helpful staff.
Great property. Super clean and everything is new. Lots of good food nearby and we were able to walk to anywhere in downtown, but we are used to walking a lot. The Dyson hair dryer with diffuser attachments was a nice touch! Kitchen was well stocked.

Just as pictured with very nice updated and clean bathrooms/amenities. Close walk to a few restaurants and shops and King Street just 2 blocks over! And a Corner store for staple items, wine/beer just a street away. Super friendly and accommodating staff with welcome chocolate and wine to start your trip off right! Would definitely stay again!
