The Prince of Wales is one of the grand historic lodges that still exist and whisk you away to a simpler time. If you are looking at staying in a historic property this is the place for you. The Prince of Wales compliments the park perfectly.

Great view as advertised, staff is great, but hotel is super dated. If there is a next time, we’d spend nights at a newer facility and just go to this hotel for the views and tea/coffee/food. Town is very small and hotel is easily accessible from anywhere in town.

Best part of stay was the history and traditional service. Room had limited comforts (rough towels and few electrical outlets, thin walls) & conveniences though bath and bedding updates appreciated. Food, service and of course the views were pleasurable.
