This is one of the grand hotels of our country, and Delta is doing a great job of maintaining the elegance and historical feeling that goes with this lovely building. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, while exhibiting many of the features that remind us of the traditions associated with travel in the last century. I would love to give the experience more stars, but breakfast at the Garden Court Cafe definitely put us off. I am all for reuse and recycle, but, when we asked for more cream for our coffee, the server turned around to the just-vacated table across from us and, matter-of-factly, moved their cream container onto our table to satisfy our request. All we could think of was the couple at the neighbouring table laughing and talking over their breakfast and spraying their saliva over the cream pitcher! As we sat mulling over this thought, we began to have another line of thought, namely, if that is how they reuse cream in front of house, what do they reuse in back of house? Whose table did our first creamer come from (was it from the man sitting at the corner table who d been sneezing)? On our next visit (and we will surely come again to enjoy this beautiful, historic setting), we will plan for breakfasts out.
