Pour 600$ Canadien la nuit je m’attends à mieux, petit déjeuner très très ordinaire le dernier des 3 petits déjeuner il n’y avait plus de croissants. Très bruyant la chambre à côté de la nôtre faisait beaucoup de bruit lorsqu’il entrait ou sortait. Hotel vieillot aurait besoin d’un rafraîchissement.

Great base for a distillery tour

Overall a great hotel where to the good outweighs the negatives. Goods - Food at the restaurant is great, Staff was helpful and friendly and the views were awe inspiring. The not so good, the price at the restaurant was high, the room was very small. Over I would say again.
