We enjoyed a really lovely stay for 4 nights. The property has been beautifully restored, and the staff was very attentive and pleasant. The amenities were lovely - especially the pool, sauna, and gym. Because our room was on the small side, it would have been nice to sit in the bar/lounge off of the lobby to eat or to have a drink, but this area is currently closed. Also, the Drawbridge Room was locked and unusable - this may have been because they were experiencing some fob/controlled access issues while we were there. The mats in the gym were in rough condition and should be replaced - I was relieved to have my own yoga mat with me. Those issues were low level, however, and I would definitely stay here again.

The Insignia Hotel is the epitome of superior customer service excellence.. everything from the lovely furnishings, the toiletries, the delicious coffee, the ambiance but, most of all, the exceptional staff who are so warm, accommodating and gracious are why I love every stay and can’t wait to return! I have travelled extensively and this is, by far, my most favourite! That you can pass by the Lobby and they greet you by name is a customer skill that is impressive and so appreciated.
