Great staff. Very friendly and helpful. Minimalist rooms. Had high tea in the main area and we were sweating due to sun. That made it uncomfortable to enjoy the tea. Suggestion is to move the tables back out of the sun. All in all a great stay

Room carpet had dust all round the edges. Needs a better vacuum. $12 charge for parking and use of a hairdryer a cash grab. Only hotel on our ten day road trip that didnt include these standard items, paying for the view.

8/10 Very good

Beautiful location and lovely property. Smaller rooms but quite adequate. The hotel was built in 1928 and reflect the time period with upgrades. The view from the lobby is wonderful and give the Canadian welcome anyone would want to have. Nice restaurant at hotel and some nearby. Small town flavor. well worth the visit
