Pros:

Beautiful old hotel, perfectly located for convenience and the staff were fantastic. There is a billiard room for guests a beautiful old original elevator and the food in the grand dining hall was superb. I also thoroughly enjoyed the live piano performance. Short walks to all sorts of shopping and dining and easy drives to some of the most beautiful scenery!

Spectacular windows and matched memories from 40 years ago. Heated bathroom floor.
An era of elegance rarely seen.
Staff were exceptional.

For a quality establishment a better quality toilet paper please!
Breakfast was too expensive and very limited in choice. Do not recommend breakfast.
