The Empress Hotel
The Empress is a mixed bag. I enjoyed our stay here and for Valentines Day is there another choice? However, it's probably the last time we'll stay here. There was nothing wrong with it but it's just a hotel. The hotel rooms look just like other rooms and the hallways look like any other hallway etc.. The Tea room is very nice but you don't sleep in it and you don't have to pay the Empress rates to have tea in it either.
Next time I'll probably stay in something smaller and more quaint. If you do stay here though sign up online to be a Fairmont member and you'll not have to pay for wifi.
