Lord Elgin Hotel

Lord Elgin Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel is beautiful, the rooms fully renovated. The restaurant was delightful. I was bothered by my door attempting to be opened twice by housekeeping staff saying I’d already checked out - not the case. And lastly, they didn’t have basic necessities available at the front desk, though the lady behind the desk was amazing & able to give us an emergency feminine hygiene product."
