It was a lovely hotel and can only be described as very rustic sitting alongside the lake. Dining room meals were delicious, tempting notice for upcoming Easter brunch menu on display, easily accessible to major highways, only 20 minutes away from downtown Halifax, 10 minutes away from the airport. This has been my second stay at this hotel and I would book again. Lobby coffee is divine served with homemade muffins.
