Spent a few nights here on a Canadian road trip. Lots of pros: Good breakfast choice (could do with more fruit). Comfortable room. (We did upgrade on arrival!). Beautiful peaceful location, well kept. Stunning core to hotel, fantastic design. Very wilderness lodge feel. Great bar staff, nothing is too much trouble. Also breakfast and dinner team were very helpful. Complimentary parking. Cons: Reception staff generally were ok but a couple were extremely abrupt and actually only appeared happy when attempting to upsell. Not a pleasant check in process but we have fed back to the manager, so no more to be said.

The hotel is a historic hotel with beautiful grounds grand architecture. The service was great and the staff were attentive. The food we ate was delicious, especially the french onion soup. That being said the hotel is 95 years old and seems like upkeep has not been kept up. Our air conditioning only worked sporadically and overall the room and bathroom needed updating.

I attended the Sunday brunch on May 3rd, 2026, and unfortunately, it was a deeply disappointing experience—one that management should be aware of but doesn’t appear to be. The buffet area is far too small to accommodate the number of guests. There was a long, winding line just to access basic items like scrambled eggs and beans, and the serving dishes themselves were undersized for the volume of guests. The bacon and breakfast sausages were of very poor quality (as was pretty much everything) comparable to what you might find at a low-end diner. The prime rib station was almost comical; the staff member was carving from a piece of meat no larger than a fist. The smoked salmon was difficult to find and presented on a plate far too small for a buffet of this scale. When I got to my table my food was cold. On my second visit to the buffet, I realized why—the warming trays were not functioning. They were either turned off or simply not working, as they were cool to the touch. This points to a serious lapse in oversight, whether due to absent management or a lack of attention to basic service standards. More broadly, the poor food service reflects the overall state of the property. The building appears neglected, with peeling paint, deteriorating walkways, etc. The ownership and the Fairmount group have allowed the property to decline significantly. At $85 per person, plus tax, this experience falls far below any reasonable expectation. I would strongly advise against brunch at this establishment.

We only stopped for a drink but absolutely stunning venue Quite pricey but certainly a must visit With spa . Restaurant. And many things to do Cabin style rooms also function and wedding venue Small boutique shop onsite Lots of activities if your staying
