Great view as advertised, staff is great, but hotel is super dated. If there is a next time, we’d spend nights at a newer facility and just go to this hotel for the views and tea/coffee/food. Town is very small and hotel is easily accessible from anywhere in town.

Best part of stay was the history and traditional service. Room had limited comforts (rough towels and few electrical outlets, thin walls) & conveniences though bath and bedding updates appreciated. Food, service and of course the views were pleasurable.

The Prince of Wales hotel has a older rustic aura and is well maintained and well staffed with good food. It does show its age in some ways, but that is not a detriment to its charm.

The Prince of Wales Hotel has real character more than just a place to stay, it feels like a piece of history. The rooms are delightfully old-school, with wooden beams and a warm, welcoming charm that you just don’t get from modern hotels. The restaurant and bar were impressive with great views of the lake. The atmosphere is cosy, classic and the overall vibe. Highly recommend for atleast once in a lifetime experience.

The historical nature of the property was unique and the scenery was outstanding. Cons -- walls of rooms paper thin, making it noisy. Checkout was slow, with only one agent. Food -- ok.

Everything was as expected. It is a historical hotel therefore things like the elevator and some of the other amenities are limited. The view is tremendous. The food was excellent and staff was very attentive and pleasant. I will remember if I go back again that the weather conditions can be pretty extreme. There was a 20 to 45 mile an hour wind blowing for 24 hours straight. It rattled the entire hotel and made our beds shake. It was a unique experience but difficult to sleep during those conditions. The hotel wisely provides earplugs in every room, just in case the wind is too noisy. Funny but I almost used them..
