I felt like I was immersed in the Huron Wendat culture with the beautifully decorated rooms featuring a touch of Indian art. The king-size bed ensured a restful sleep, but the lack of variety in the dining experience was a downside. The service was top-notch, and the location made it easy to explore the outdoor attractions nearby.
