Idlewyld is an absolutely gorgeous old Victorian. The grounds and building are just stunning and you almost feel like you're transported to another time the moment you set foot inside.

We only stayed overnight on a trip home from Montreal so we only got to experience Idlewyld for a short time. The room was beautiful, but hot. Very hot. Even with the AC up full blast and an oscillating fan on high it was almost too warm to sleep comfortably.

The staff, however, were amazing. When we checked in, there was a technical problem with our US card but she went above and beyond to accommodate us. When we checked out and mentioned the heat and the discomfort, she knocked a little off the room to make up for it. They did right by us, and that is the true measure of hospitality. The staff of Idlewyld are incredible.

The free breakfast was very good, above and beyond most free hotel breakfasts I've had. And Cara - the server we had - was lovely: friendly, genuine, and a true pleasure to have met.

We would happily stay at Idlewyld again, although perhaps later in the year when the temps are a little cooler.
