This location was better for me than waterfront downtown hotels--gave access to neighborhoods and walking on The Common and the Citadel. Waterfront is a hike or a bus ride. I was surprised that the staff could not offer me any information or even a booklet of restaurants in the area, no concierge--except that there was a dominos. They told me the Armory was a church. At least support local restaurants! After exploring, I found the darling and local Dilly Dally Cafe for excellent montreal bagel sandwiches and coffee drinks. Also went to restaurants/pubs on Quinpool and Angricola. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable, property needs some plants on the exterior and updates on the elevator. Guest laundry -- a big plus for a weary traveler. Overall a good value.
