6/10 Good

The positive is the staff are friendly and it is a convenient downtown location. Rooms are quaint with spacious bathrooms and aircon. However, the rooms and bedding are outdated with a faint "stuffy" smell due to age. The entrance door had a large gap. Not very private. There is no breakfast available as the pub/restaurant below doesn't open until 11:30 a.m. (A half hour after check out) The T.V. is complicated to turn on. We couldn't get it to work despite the instructions. And there are no staff on site after 8pm to assist if you have any issues like this. The air conditioner is on the wall and preset at a temperature by the hotel. There was no converter to control the temperature and the aircon was pointed directly to my bed. I had to put on a hoodie as it was so cold on my head. If the converter for the air was in the room, I could have locked the air conditioning fan upwards so it wasn't blowing directly on me. Also overpriced for the age of the room.

As part of my boyfriend’s 27th birthday this year, I took him to Minden for ice racing. The stay at Dominion Hotel was an absolute gem! We love local inn’s and Dominion checked all of the boxes off. Being it was so cold the weekend we went, the room was so cozy, so warm, and in such a cute part of downtown. We had a blast and even enjoyed a lowkey dinner at the pub below. We loved it and have already planned a summer trip back for fun!

This is the second time we have stayed here. It is clean and quaint. The room suits my young family of 4. My only small complaint was that the hot water in the shower ran out in the morning. Otherwise this spot is perfect.

When we checked in we were given our room and when we checked our room we had ordered two beds in a room and only received one bed for four people. Little problem I thought would contact them at the desk and I was told. Basically tough luck. We're out of rooms. That's what you ordered. That's what you get at that price

Historic property with well kept rooms above a popular local restaurant. Located right in the heart of town within easy walking distance of shops and river. Check in is at the bar, and there may not be hotel staff after hours. Very clean and well located with ample parking.

This is a nice place to stay right in the centre of Minden. We arrived late and the pub was closed, but the instructions were clear and we found our way without any problem. Super clean and very comfy bed. No complaints whatsoever. We would stay there again.

Too many stairs to get to our room. Nowhere did we see anything that there was no elevator. I have two knee replacements and it was very difficult for me to climb 18 stairs. Walked in the front door and no direction of where to sign in. Went into restaurant to ask and we signed in at the bar!! While people were sitting there drinking!!!! Very old, floors are not leveled. Would not recommend.

The exterior of the building does not look like a hotel at all but we were pleasantly surprised when we checked into our room. The room was spacious, although the position of the second bed was awkward. It was clean and has everything we wanted. Because it was an old building, the room was not level as we could see the uneven gap between the bathroom door and the floor. The bathroom door could not close properly as a result. Bed was comfortable, fridge worked well. Bathroom was spacious. Keurig coffee machine. Microwave and fridge.

We had booked a 9 night stay. I don’t expect someone to check our room everyday but the housekeeper came after two nights and then not again until night 9, by then our garbage was overflowing. She did put clean sheets on the bed at that time which made no sense since we were leaving in the morning. Our room needed sweeping which I kept trying to do with paper towel. If nobody is going to check in on things that often then an extra garbage bag left and maybe a broom to sweep up the sand would have been nice. The restaurant below the rooms had excellent food and awesome staff.

2/10 Poor

Complete over-priced disappointment! Avoid.

The Dominion was the only place available last minute on a long weekend. There was a very good reason for this - it's atrocious. The rooms are tiny, the walls are paper thin (you can hear guests talk in other rooms as though they were in yours), bathroom was filthy (tub had several areas of what looked like black mold), rooms are not refreshed for multi-night stays, etc. Totally not worth the money - it should be compared to a very low grade motel. We have no issues paying $250/night, but that price point comes with certain expectations that go beyond what's delivered here. We've been home from this vacation for a week and still irritated by this part of our vacation. We were desperate due to a last minute change in plans and we paid for it. Moral of the story: Book early, but book elsewhere.
Filth in the bathtub.
Suspicious staining that looks a lot like mold.
