Was looking for a hotel close to lakeside waterfront, with onsite parking and breakfast

Found The Royal Anne Hotel online at a very reasonable price

Booked a room with 2 Queen beds

Book in at hotel was seamless with the very pleasant manager ?Chrysta/Krista on duty

All Covid protocols adhered to on registration

Great size room, with small balcony, overlooking a nice shopping area around the hotel

Literally steps from the front door to the park that runs alongside the lake

Underground secure parking

As Covid restrictions were in process of provincial health order change, breakfasts were not being served in dining area
Breakfast is included in room price

Instead we were able to collect a bagged breakfast from reception, and as much coffee/tea etc needed from the breakfast room

Beds very comfortable, plenty of nice towels in bathroom
Shower worked very well

Had an issue with TV on arrival, pressed incorrect button on remote!
Call to front desk, unable to fix remotely, so masked staff member came to room immediately to reconnect

Recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a nice quiet well run hotel, adjacent to all the restaurants/waterfront , that provides breakfast and parking included in price

We will return to this hotel in the future

Highly recommend The Royal Anne Hotel

My spouse and I just got back from this wonderful hotel. We had booked a room with 2 queen beds, but messaged the hotel in advance, as we were celebrating our 7th year anniversary. The Manager Christie sent me a message immedietly, congratulating us, and said she was going to upgrade us to one of their nicer Queen size rooms on the 5th floor with a view of the Lake. How nice.

Upon checking in, Christie was the actual person who checked us in. She was warm and friendly, informative about her hotel and the surrounding areas. She even gave us a nice bottle of red wine and big congratulations for our special day. So thoughtful.

Our room indeed had a wonderful view of the lake. It was a nice room, with all the necessary ameneties for a comfortable stay. I found the bed quite comfortable. The climate control is one of the best I've seen in a hotel. It is one unit, which controlled the heat and coolness. The air conditioner worked amazingly well. It wasn't loud at all.

This hotel even offered a breakfast each morning. With covid, they could only provide a bagged breakfast, but it contained a boiled egg, juice box, granola bar, apple, and muffin. More than enough to get our day going. ( I saw the breakfast room; looked quite nice. I imagine they had a nice breakfast when covid wasn't here) Still, appreciate the effort, as many hotels don't even offer a breakfast. (and for the price we paid per night, really generous)

I would also like to comment on the parking. Its free!!! This is a downtown hotel. Most downtown hotels in larger cities charge $20 or more dollars per night. It is included here!!!!! I've read comments from other travellers that there is minimum parking space available. This appears to be true, but we had no issue, as we used our car daily.

The hotel itself felt warm and cozy. Christi made us feel like we were staying with friends. I didn't feel like a number here. All the staff were especially warm and welcoming.

Having worked in the hotel business for 12 years myself, I can appreciate good service and a well run clean hotel. I've got to say I was impressed with this property.

As for the location...wow. Its right in the middle of the downtown district, short walk to the water front walkway and beach areas. Restaurants and shopping all surround this property. My bank was even just across the street. You couldn't ask for a better convenient location.

Loved this hotel. Will definitely be back. Big thank you to Christie for making us feel so welcome!!!

I turned up late, without a reservation.
Everyone was very accommodating.
It was very clean and Covid safe. They had a nice packed breakfast for you in the morning.
My room was lovely, it was just a shame I couldn’t stay longer.
Would definitely return!
