A reminder of colonial days
We spent two nights in a two-bedroom suite. This was excellent, apart from the occasional creaking of the floor above as someone walked on it. Dinner in the restaurant was average, as was breakfast. We liked the restful atmosphere in the lobby, which was redolent of a bygone era.

The property is very dated and in need of an upgrade. The furnishings in the room were old and mismatched. There were no bedside cabinets. There was no safe in the room. The room was noisy at night, as you could hear people walking about in the room above. The reception area, bar and restaurant were O.K.

A special place
Second time staying here as my children (and I) absolutely love it. This is a charming property and the historical elements are so interesting. The foyer is fascinating for children with the old fashioned phone and grand piano. Excellent location, easy walking distance to the park, lakefront and many restaurants. Very good breakfast. Room was clean and comfortable and pool is lovely.

Cool vintage hotel with a nice restaurant and pools. A bit of an older building so not super sound proof. Our room faced the Main Street and there was some noise from cars driving by and other guests. The room was also very small, it was hard to open up our luggage and move around the room. Staff was very welcoming and room was clean.

Their thermal hot water spa is magical! It’s open to air where we enjoyed light cold showers and hot spa, we also enjoyed their closed private spa. Breakfast was excellent. Staff is very friendly :) You enjoyed our stay here very much thank you
