What guests think

Hotel Senator draws repeat guests for its historic charm, central downtown location, and welcoming staff, while reviews also note limited gated parking, a very basic continental breakfast, and safety concerns around the area.

Many guests enjoy the attached Winston’s Pub and on-site steakhouse, praising the atmosphere and convenient dining. Rooms range from small to spacious, with vintage decor and occasional quirks like fluctuating water temperature, dim lighting, or creaky floors; some mention noise from the bar or street. Cleanliness is usually good, though a few note musty odors in corridors or worn carpets. Expect a character stay best for travellers who value heritage charm over modern polish.

The hotel was very secure, parking was in a locked, gated compound. The hotel had secure entrance and secure hallways so unauthorized people couldn't get in. Charming character and the room was quite large with 3 sets of windows. Think of a European hotel room with twice as much room.

The room seemed generally clean, but I found a used condom in the bathroom garbage that was clearly missed. Check-in was rough. The front desk attendant was not technically skilled and didn't realize that the debit/credit machine had lost its internet connection, leading to some lengthy angst as to why my credit card wasn't working. The continental breakfast was fine, but very very basic. The parking was weird -- the way the stalls are designed some of the cars block in others, and those owners are required to leave their keys at the front desk so that hotel staff can move the cars when necessary. That said, it's well restored older hotel, still showing its age in some respects, but comfortable enough. The location is awesome, right in the middle of the downtown action. And the adjoining pub, Winston's (with its own brewery) is a great spot. Lots of restaurants, breweries, cafes and shops nearby.

Overall we will definitely stay here again, front desk manager that checked us in was so friendly, helped us park our big truck in their back gated parking lot. Pub was attached to hotel which is something we like. Hotel has a vintage vibe which was so nice. Room was very clean and comfortable. Only negative thing would be the bed was too soft and sagged in the middle.

This is a grand old hotel built in 1908. The lobby is marble and dark wood. My room was small, but the queen size bed was very comfortable. The shower was large with a strong, steady flow of hot water. It was exactly what I was looking for.

Afraid it might be something bigger, I let the staff know. He immediately showed me two other rooms I could choose from that were beautiful. They were so accommodating. The rooms were very clean and the bed was very comfortable. 10/10 would stay here again.

Staff was not attentive, saw us at the door but didn't come over to open it for us. Another staff member came to open door. Very noisy, heard very loud drilling sound close to 10 p.m.; in the middle of the night we were woken up by loud foot steps and stomping outside the door and from upstairs. Whenever we call the front desk it took a long time for them to answer the phone. We couldn't find coffee cups at breakfast place, no utensils available either.

My wife and I really appreciated it. Thanks for a great stay!

Hotel itself has a cool vibe and although a little dated (stained carpets in room) the older architecture and decor is pretty cool. Unfortunately it is located in the heart of downtown which is infested with homeless people making the parking unsafe as well as just generally walking around enjoying the area

For Fathers Day I wanted to treat my husband to a historic hotel with a quality dinner. Not only was the hotel like taking a step back into history, it was comfortable, clean, spacious and beautiful! We ate at the Flanagan’s Steakhouse down stairs in the hotel. The dinning room was very Colonial, beautiful, historic, classy and the table side service was impeccable. Couldn’t have had a better experience if we tried.

Perfect location to go shopping. The hotel is has a lot of character, a bit old but well maintained. The room and bathroom are simple and comfortable. There is not a real breakfast… only yogurts, tiny muffins and bad coffee. However, the breakfast room is absolutely beautiful if you like older architecture. Great English pub!
