My wife and I just got back from a two day road trip, one of which we stayed in the beautiful city of Nelson.
Earlier this summer I posted a Blog expounding some of the virtues of this really cool town. We had planned to revisit Nelson and stay in the Hume Hotel in July, but the day we had booked had a forecasted temperature of 35 C.
Warning: The Hume does NOT have air conditioning so if you ever plan to stay there be aware of the weather forecast, Nelson can be very hot during the summer months. Rooms would be unbearable during a heat wave.
The Hume Hotel is a lovely and charming Heritage Hotel with all the fixings of yesteryear. Lot's of old (antique) furniture and wood fixtures. Very fitting for a town like Nelson which prides itself for its Heritage architecture.
We found the staff very friendly and courteous. We had booked the Rapunzel Suite, very large with two queen beds, and a sitting room overlooking the main street corners of Nelson from the fourth floor.
A pair of French Door open on the west and north corners of the building providing a nice view of downtown Nelson with Kooteney Lake in the background.
Because this room overlooks a busy corner and a bar, noise might be an issue. We stayed on a Monday evening and did not find noise a problem.
We kept a loud but constant fan going (provided) to drown out any incidental noise.
Thankfully the weather was cool and our room was a nice ambient temperature.
We had dinner at the General Store Restaurant. The food was very nice, I had the Baby Back Ribs, mmmm, yummy!
Prices: Our room was $149 CA plus taxes and the meals for 4 of us came to about $85 (no drinks, appies or deserts).
One other concern of note is the lack of Parking for guests. There are only about 12 stalls available. WE rolled in early enough so we got one. I'm not sure what they do when the parking is full.
Overall a really nice and unique Hotel, recommended!
