The breakfast buffet included an excellent selection of foods. guests should anticipate potential wait times for a table, sometimes reaching around 25 minutes during peak hours. It was very crowded

the staff was friendly and helpful. everyone i met spoke both english and french. the sunday brunch was excellent and reservations are needed. the hotel is a historic and architectural wonder.

i found the lobby overwhelming. it is open to the public, and many tourists not staying at the hotel were there.. busloads of people came into the lobby to cool off. the restrooms serving the restaurant and bar were also open to the public. they were pretty much trashed every time i went in because of the volume of people using them that are not guests at the hotel. the experience was disappointing.
