I had a great experience during my stay! The receptionist was incredibly helpful during the check-in process. The restaurant downstairs was also great. My waiter was so friendly and went above and beyond by giving me recommendations for nearby walking trails and places to explore, which I really appreciated and ended up loving. Overall, the friendly and helpful staff made my stay great. Thank you!

The hotel and the grounds were lovely and clean. I loved the style of decorating and the feel it gave off. Breakfast was good but be sure to understand if it is included with your booking as not all are. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Registration was quick and easy. The locked underground parkade was very good to have. We ate at the restaurant and the service and food were very good. The breakfast was also good- fresh baked good, cereal, toast and bags, yogurt and boiled eggs.

A quiet, stately hotel - good sized rooms with a desk and table. Underground secure parking (free) and very knowledgeable staff in the whisky bar! They used to include a full breakfast but it's now reduced to a barely adequate continental. Still, I would stay here again.
