The location is perfect.... the views from the din...

The location is perfect.... the views from the dining room as you linger over breakfast coffee or a glass of something as the sun goes down.... will make your heart glad. The old dame is showing her age but she still fills your stay with stately charm and when she is at her best.... manages to shine. The rooms are as you might expect.... but the linens are sparkling white and fresh air and the cool sea breeze through an open window on a summer night is an excellent replacement for the whine of air conditioning.

Nothing pretentious or over the top here... all the sights and wonders are outside of the 4 walls.... within easy walking distance or a short cab ride away. Summer prices are a bit steep for the fading glory of the place but you will fall in love with her all the same. Sylvia may be barely holding back the years, but, from her leafy perch overlooking English Bay she can still steal your heart away.
