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

The location for this hotel is wonderful. Outstanding views which take your breath away. The hotel is a beautiful time piece and lovely to look at. The young staff are pleasant and very helpful. Sadly that’s where the good things end. Do not expect anything approaching a good night’s sleep due to the noise from other rooms despite wearing ear plugs! There is no coffee after 10 am unless you buy it from the gift shop. There was no tea available at all. It says that residents have free tea and coffee from 6.00am to 10.00am yet on leaving the hotel charges $25 for ‘amenities’ which is parking plus the coffee and non-existent tea!! The only water to be had is located down a steep flight of stairs which is not accessible if you have mobility issues. You have to ask for hairdryers at the reception. On top of all of this are the swarms of flies everywhere! The notices explain that due to being in a national park the hotel can’t get rid of them. It’s awful and we had several bites. The rooms are very cramped and dark. There is a smell of manure everywhere. We were very sad as this was going to be a real highlight for our trip.

I would not have stayed just for the experience if I knew what I was getting. A room with no extras, no AC, no coffee maker, the one ice machine is in the basement many floors from the room. The rooms can hear every door closing, every person walking around the room and can even hear a person in the room next to us on the phone. Just an old hotel. Not worth the cost, though a very unique place and a gorgeous view. Everyone has to make that call themselves, but for me and my family…we would not stay here again. Get down on the lake with all the hotels with normal stuff.
