Cribs on the Hill

My wife and I recently stayed at Cribs on the Hill in June. We loved the clean and tasteful unit with so many amenities. Mike, the owner, kindly accommodated us when we wanted to extend our stay. It was a wonderful experience for us. Highly recommended!!

What a sterile place. We felt like we were squatting in a finished but unoccupied crappy display unit. The furniture was cheaper than Ikea. It lacked little important features like towel hooks, two side tables by the bed, decent lights, etc. There is a kitchenette which doesn't have a stove, cook top or dishwasher. The neighborhood is a bit removed from downtown and not particularly interesting. There is no laundry. At least parking was free and in front. All for $500/night. For that kind of price, there should be a lot more.

My hockey team and I recently booked 3 condos and it was such an amazing experience. So much better than staying in a hotel room!! The condos offered so much more than a hote is able to offer and it was so nice to be able to make super each night and enjoy a team meal at the dinner table rather than going out to a restaurant every night. The beds and rooms were phenomenal🤩 They were extremely clean and very spacious. We also loved the addition of having a fan (I don’t know about anyone else but I sleep soo much better with a fan on). The bathrooms were spotless and the pressure of the shower head was awesome! The living room was also spacious and comfortable and allowed us to all hang out and bond as a team! We will definitely be back!!! Highly recommend 💯

Wonderful little Airbnb style hotel with seamless self check in and gracious staff. Jen sent us an extensive list of recommended bars, restaurants, and wineries which we appreciated greatly and explored for two days. This was our first trim to PE and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cribs. There is an on site housekeeper who helped us find our room when we arrived, and brought us extra tea when we texted her. The room was well equipped and had a lounge area with TV hooked on to netflix. This was nice in the evening when we returned from our outings. The location is close to the main hub of Picton, and central within the region. It is a bit farther away from the winery region, but we wanted to be close to shops and nightlife. Our only "complaint" was that on occasion we could hear others walking in the unit above us. It wasn't bothersome to us but might be to others. We would definitely stay again when we are in the area.

Never ended up staying here because I went to book a room on ******* for one night at this hotel and before I confirmed the process, I decided to call the cribs on the hill hotel directly and ask about an early check in as I was attending a wedding and needed to drop my stuff off and check in before I attendant and through my conversation with the lady at the hotel she asked me how much the rate was on ******* and when I told her, she continued to say well you have to stay two nights, and I said no the ******* app says I can book one night, and she got flustered and asked if she could call me back and then never did so then I called her back she told me again that I had to book 2 nights and I said well I’m not paying $650 for a hotel that I only need to sleep in for six hours, and she then said well I’m sorry I can’t help you. When I got off the phone with her , I went back on ******* to book the room for one night as planned and it wouldn’t allow me to because she did something on her end to prevent me from booking it, which I thought was rude because that’s what she did when she was waiting to call me back. I believe she was just being greedy and didn’t want me to stay unless I paid for both nights , which was not stated anywhere on the ******* advertisement for their hotel room. I called ******* and complained. They were nice about it but said it was blocked off as being no rooms available which was unfortunate because there are only a few places to stay in Picton because it’s a small town, and I think they take advantage of that with people because when they have a lot of wedding venues there and people need places to stay, and they charge outrageous amount per night for old outdated accommodations to begin with and then wanted me to book two nights, as if.

I was very happy when I first arrived as the place is lovely, clean, even smells new. But found out quickly the floors are paper thin, and every foot step from the people above is a loud thud, thud, thud that will keep you awake until they chose to stop. I had mentioned it to the hosts, but there was no attempt to lesson the noise.

Don’t stay here! The cost is so high you would think it would be in an amazing location. It’s not. We didn’t feel safe. The area is awful. The place may look wonderful but the location is ideal for a family. We would not let our daughters walk anywhere on their own!
