Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nestled on the old Trans Canada Railway, offering a picturesque view of Sleeping Giant and a relaxing waterfront ambiance. Rooms are spacious with two comfy queen beds, perfect for three seniors, and the view is simply breathtaking. The welcoming drink adds a nice touch, but the lack of air conditioning might be a downside for some. Service is top-notch, especially with prompt room service and efficient housekeeping. The location couldn't be more convenient, being right across from the marina and close to everything by the recently developed waterfront. However, it's a bit of a splurge but worth every penny for the splendid experience.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and had a fantastic view of the Sleeping Giant. The comfy beds and waterfront views really made my stay special. However, the 10 ft ceilings added an elegant touch, but I found the price a bit on the higher side.
