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

Barry

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was borderline decrepit, with thin walls/old carpet in rooms &unsafe large single pane window in the bar. Grounds looked kind of grubby immediately surrounding the hotel. The lake of course was beautiful. The staff were very good, and the beds comfy, but the hotel overall compares poorly to other historic icons like the Banff Springs
