Day trips to Boldt Castle (drawbridge, the works) are available May-Oct, since it’s only accessible by boat.

With everything from Canada’s 1st parliament buildings to the International Hockey Hall of Fame nearby, your list of local must-sees is long.

Hotel pool hits the spot when you need to cool off or swim it out.

Rooms are no-frills but modern, not medieval (sorry, Lancelot fans).

Breakfast is basic, but tasty and free.

Simple and straightforward, perfect for when you just need to get some shuteye.

Free parking means you're not stuck tracking down a spot.

Great room earns its name as the in-house social spot (with occasional hosted movies and free popcorn).

Drops ya right on Picton’s main drag. Idyllic wineries, the shoreline, breweries and more are all within a short drive.

Name doesn't lie: all rooms are indeed suites, with comfy beds and fully equipped kitchens.
