The hotel boasts a century-old grandeur and opulence in its extremely outdated rooms that could use a modern facelift but house excellent facilities. The service is exceptional with friendly and attentive staff, making the stay highly enjoyable. The location is terrific, offering close proximity to attractions like guided walks around the Falls. The dining experience, though buffet-style with a wide variety, falls slightly short of expectations. Overall, a mix of classic charm and great service with room for modern updates.
