Pros:

Love the atmosphere!

Cons:

The only thing we didn’t like is that we weren’t able to get our rooms at 4 which is the check-in and didn’t get settled into our rooms until 445. It would have been nice to receive some sort of compensation as we stay there often and had two rooms.

6/10 not great
Pros:

Upon check-in the credit card information which was on file when booked did not work. Got to room and everything seemed very dusty, all the bottles were empty in shower (shampoo, conditioner and body wash). Called front desk, took 40mins for replacement. Overall not the best experience for the price you pay. 6/10

As a frequent guest I am wondering what steps,if any, have been taken to address the recent outbreak of Hepatitis A in the hotel restaurant that infected a number of guests?

Wonderful stay. So cozy great staff good food and nice wine. Thanks
Pros:

Lovely hotel with great atmosphere
Comfortable lobby and seating around fireplace. Staff everyone of them so friendly. My particular enjoyment on a wintery few days was the lovely staff in the dining room Luila, Varun and Serhi. Breakfast with Luila was lovely so attentive. Front desk staff smiling and pleasing.

Cons:

Not realizing when I booked their were different buildings. For most it wouldn't matter but I have a walking disability and it makes walking any distance difficult. The front desk staff did get me as close as they could last .minute realizing my issue. Would have been helpful knowing to ask for building with dining.

Beautiful Hotel
Pros:

We had a lovely 2 bed room. Our dog was welcomed (though we were pointedly asked more than once whether our dog was being looked after when we walked by the front desk. (This is the first time, in visits to many hotels, that we were treated like this. The dog was quiet and well-behaved. It was the same person each time who asked us.) The food at Braxton's was always delicious and creative. We had tea on our second day and were delighted by the treats. The indoor pool was fun, and sitting in front of a big fire together was very relaxing. He took at ghost story tour....wish it had been told with a bit more passion.

Nothing at all. We’re already looking forward to returning once the sauna and massage center are completed!

The Algonquin Resort is worth every penney!
Pros:

Staff was friendly, knowledgable and spoke excellent English. Loved the fireplaces in the lobby and the chance to mingle and meet other guests. Surprised at the amount of dogs staying at the hotel. Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Winston, enjoyed meeting as many as he could. Leia greeted us with a wag of her tail and allowed petting. Staff placed us near my mother's room, which was helpful due to her mobility problems. The ghost tour was really good!

Cons:

The furniture was not as grand as the room and the rugs were frayed. TV too large.
