“What was once a local landmark has been reborn as a boutique hotel with a clear sense of style. The interiors suggest a European influence, while the indoor pool and Tudor-style pub offer diversions on-site. From what I gather, it's a comfortable spot to settle in, especially given its location near the St. Clair River and downtown Sarnia.”
