10/10 Exceptional

Very comfortable upscale hotel and spa
We found this hotel to be beautifully situated with stunning views of the water from the west-facing windows of the hotel. It has a lodge-like feel in the lobby area and restaurant. Lots of wood features, large beams, A lofty entrance atrium, and a fireplace in the living area. Personnel were uniformly friendly. Our room (206) was spacious, well appointed and very comfortable with a partial view of the water. The restaurant was outstanding. We did not make use of the spa facilities this visit. Trains come by directly in front of the hotel at intervals, but we did not find the audible rumble to be intrusive or disturbing. My only complaint is that the lobby and living/firplacee area of this hotel gets quite drafty and even chilly (we stayed in mid-December) due to very large areas of glass on either side, and due to the rush of cold air that comes into the lobby whenever the front door is opened. Naturally, this is of concern during the winter months, probably not an issue during the warmer months. The problem for us is that it made it uncomfortable to sit by the fireplace due to the drafts and cold wind from the entrance door whenever it was opened.
