We loved this hotel. It is living history, used by Corner Brook mill supervisors at the turn of the century, one of two hotels built for that purpose. There is lots of original woodwork and original staircases, plus architecture that has been maintained as it was in its heydey. The gardens are also well-tended, with a front porch and chairs looking out to a pond beyond the circular driveway. Walking trails are both in front and behind the hotel. Though you can tell that some upkeep is needed on the outside of the hotel, the original, unique features have been maintained, and the rooms have been updated. There are two small elevators - one to the front of the hotel, and one to the back area where you will find the bar (with local entertainment) and meeting/dining rooms. Be prepareed to do a lot of walking if you use the stairs... or even if you don't. The water pressure is excellent - with soft water and good toiletries - plus a non-slip tub bottom. We missed counter top space in the bathroom and found the toilet rather low, a common feature in Newfoundland hotels. The room includes a desk, dresser, coffeemaker, chair bedside clock and small TV. There are a good number of electrical outlets, and Wi-Fi works well. The A/C also works well, but we had to turn it off for most of the night because, even on 'low', it blows across the bed. We had great breakfast food with four menu choices and plenty of fresh food to eat. Our large tour group made it difficult to get fast service. Like all places, staffing continues to be a problem. The beautiful dining room is an experience in itself - paintings are historical, the windows exquisite, and the table settings were wonderful. We felt that we were in a very special place. Extra thanks to Chandler for great service.
