The staff was very friendly and the hotel is quite charming with history. Typical of Fairmont hotels. A great hotel for spoiling or treating others. I agree with the over all rating of the other hotel reviews of it. Recommend to stay at if interested in staying at. Just remember it is an old hotel of 1915 and has been updated since then.

Beautiful hotel, located in a historic building, combining traditional look and feel with modern amenities. Exceptionally well maintained, luxurious interior, with great attention to detail. Fantastic staff, courteous, attentive. Labrador Hendrix is the best VP of Guest Relations! I only wish food and drinks were more reasonably priced. Paying $8 for a cup of tea made with a prepackaged teabag or $40 for a hamburger is absurd.
