The room was equipped with a window that overlooked a corridor. The service provided by the staff was observed to be slow. An unusual odor was present in the lobby and corridors. The breakfast offerings were unsatisfactory. Noise levels were elevated. The doors were fitted with an alarm system that activated when left open for an extended period, which unfortunately triggered during the night as guests exited their rooms.

Staff were nice. Place has a weird old smell. But it is an old building. Decor is dated and bedding feels meh. Bathroom shower head had someone else’s hair wrapped around it. For the price it’s kinda what I expected. North American motel vibes in castle like building. View was nice. Parking easy. Neighbour was annoying and started playing music at around 2am. Had to put my AirPods in to sleep but still slept terrible. The noise and the beds a bit hard for me. That’s not the hotels fault.

Lovely spacious room and whole hotel is beautiful and comfortable full of historic art and furnishings. Restaurant and breakfast buffet were both great. Easy free parking. Elva’s is a wonderful place to visit
