Nice hotel. Close enough to the rest of downtown to get access to the buses or garden, but far enough so you can have a nice walk after dinner.

Great Stay
We had a great stay at the Royal Canadian Lodge. The staff was welcoming and friendly and the rooms were clean and updated. Parking in the garage was very helpful especially in the winter.
The breakfast needs to be improved...I think frozen potatoes were used. The white flour bagels (everything bagel not available) seemed like they were from a grocery store. The bacon/eggs were cooked just right.
Not impressed with breakfast...we did not eat lunch or dinner there. Our server Elmer was outstanding! Friendly and professional. Neal/Concierge was also very helpful talking about where to go and see. The front desk person on Wed, Jan 22nd/evening shift was very nice.
