Breakfast not included. Pool and jacuzzi, were wonderful! No access to a microwave but the restaurant that is inside the hotel plated up leftovers on real plates, silverware, and linen. And refused any kind of a tip. Staff went above and beyond!

Fancy feeling but dated.

Fancy feeling but dated. It's a historic hotel, so that's expected and doesn't take away from the charm, or better yet, gives it more charm. It was clean and had good views. Didn't hear any nieghbors at all but did hear the highway and train from time to time. Having a pool and hot tub was a bonus. We could walk everywhere we had planned, including dining, the river muesum, and the fenelon place elevator. Everywhere we walked was like a mural walk with amazing murals all over the area. The only con was we missed having a microwave. But, there are loads of restaurants in the area, including in the hotel itself. Barrell house restaurant across the street was our favorite.

The staff was friendly at all times. We loved Caroline’s Restaurant located in the hotel. My main issue is with the bathrooms. The shower door does not latch tight so water pools on the ledge and floor. The towel racks are placed right by the toilet. Very close. Not close to the shower. You cannot reach them when stepping out of the shower.
