Top hotels in Cardinal Creek
Fairmont Chateau Laurier
"The furniture was badly in need of replacement. Desk chair in poor shape. Duvet would not stay in the cover. Fridge broken but a replacement set up in room. I did not get the room I had viewed online. I wanted a view and all I had was a roof covered in paving stones. The breakfast was good as well ..."

"AC barely worked, tv remote didn't work, broken bulbs in room, no microwave, shower curtain is the size of a large towel, horrible bedsheets. The hotel is great in appearance and clean but for the price of the room, additional for parking and full cost breakfast I would not stay again."
