Vibtage experience. Be aware that the rooms dont have AC. Also the elevators are manually operated, so you may have to take the stairs quite a few times. The rooms will have black flies.

The property has been there a long time. Amenities are old. You can hear people talking in the adjacent room and you can hear the wind blowing through the windows/walls. You drive a long way to get to the property. Lovely view of the surrounding mountains and the lake. There is no breakfast provided. Limited selections available for breakfast in the restaurant on the property. I had the french toast and did not really care for it.

Discriminate single American travelers Would be seated at main dining and hadnt eaten since 5am (It was 5:30pm their time) Family after me without a reservation was seated. Buffalo and trout was on menu but"out" as end of season. Id stay on US side on how I was treated. I don't think they understand the cost we incur just for the experiecne and time it takes to fly and then drive there.

Built in 1927 the hotel has history and elegance with a million dollar view! The evening presentations were informative and presented by staff dressed in traditional uniforms. The elevator is one of the oldest in Canada and cannot be operated independently by guests therefore a climb of 71 steps to get to our 5th floor room was required. The rooms are simple and a bit small, but that lake & mountain view made up for it. We would definitely stay again!
