Our stay was amazing — honestly one of the best we’ve had in Canada! The fireplace made it super cozy inside our room, and the hot tub was such a nice bonus. Being just 5 minutes from downtown was perfect — close enough to everything.

Amazing hotel, a little off the main town which we really enjoyed as the town gets so busy. Short & frequent bus takes you straight in which was free if you had brought other tickets (like the gondola or lakes) otherwise $2 a ride - amazing. Food at the prow was amazing. 5* stay nothing to fault with super friendlu staff.
