Fairmont Empress
Historic building. The pool/change rooms are beautiful. The gym is fairly well equipped although small. Did not have time to go to the newly renovated Bengal for breakfast but it looks GORGEOUS. Amazing views, perfect location, hard not to want to stay here.

Everything was great

Huntingdon Hotel and Suites
A nice, clean place; unfortunately not very soundproof. We could hear every person walking down the hallway, opening/shutting doors, walking around the floor above us, and construction outside. The front desk did provide earplugs upon request. The breakfast buffet was good!

Inn at Laurel Point
The entrance is very nice, we stayed at the laurel wing, the older part, needs some updating. But glad we can bring our pet cat to stay with us.

The Magnolia Hotel and Spa
Lovely and comfortable room. Bathroom had a deep bathtub which is much appreciated. The room amenities were also wonderful. Love the little touches like filtered water and the turn down service.
