Dining: On-site restaurant with local ingredients

“This property stands out, not just for its distance from the busy main strip, but for offering convenient bus passes-and even bear spray-to guests. The updated rooms are a plus, but the real draw might be its unexpected culinary excellence; the on-site restaurant rises well above typical hotel fare. It could easily make your Canadian holiday truly special.”

The restaurant's boar chop was a masterpiece. I also tried the ribeye steak for two; it was the best I have ever had.
