The main great room/lobby of this old historic hotel is pretty much worth it all. Spectacular views and a comfy relaxing atmosphere. The room itself was meh. But it is historic so that’s part of the deal. The point is to spend your evenings down in the great room that is equipped with many chairs, sofas and tables for reading, playing cards, having a drink and looking out at the amazing scenery. There is a good restaurant right off the lobby and also a really nice bar where you can have lunch, dinner or a snack. There is a snack/gift shop open too 9pm where they will make you a speciality coffee. It’s way in the back of the shop so look for it or ask.

Prince of Wales Hotel/Watertown downtown-Charming!

Loved this hotel!!! Felt like I went back in time, but with great updated bathroom's and our bed was very comfy. Beautiful view of the lake and mountains and the food was delicious. The town is a short hike away and it is so charming! Would definitely go back!!!
