The "Beach Room" will whisk you away to a sandy location. The room is well lit and airy and is equipped with a queen bed for the most comfortable night's sleep.

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!
Your stay will be in the "Beach Room" located at the top of the stairs, first door on the left. This will be your dedicated and private space for your stay. The washrooms, kitchen, living room, dining room/ study, and all outdoors spaces are shared between yourselves and our other guests.
The Inn is run virtually, so we will be mostly "hands off" for your stay so that you can feel free to relax and make yourselves at home! However, should you need some information or help with an item in particular please feel free to message us in app. A member of our team will get back to you as soon as possible!
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.
There are plenty of means of transportation for the area. Biking, Walking, Buses, Taxi, and Mass Transit are all available for your needs. Bus stops are close by for easy access.
Access to the Inn will be through the August Lock which is a bluetooth enabled lock which utilizes your smart phone as the key (pin numbers for use on the key pad also available after you have set up your account). Upon booking approval we'll send you an invite to download the app which we give you access to the property for the duration of your stay.
