We were most excited for this stay as we love a good lake view. We were amazed at the insane views of not only the lake, but the wildlife and the mountains! We had a wonderful time, the staff was so friendly and welcoming.

Gem of a hotel!

This hotel far exceeded my exceptions. Beautiful location, comfortable bed, friendly staff, and great food and drink. My only regret is that we weren’t staying longer!

Somewhat renovated, older hotel with charm

Great service, especially with the nice French women at the front desk and the wait staff. Obviously, this is an older hotel that has been renovated, so you get a mix of old and “modern”. Outlets were dusty, which makes me wonder what else isn’t being cleaned often. Beds a little lumpy. No AC and heat is off as we are in the summer- difficult to get wet clothes dry. Fan is provided and windows open (but no screen) for ventilation.

The view and lake is beautiful - and 5 star. The hotel is quiet with seats to sit and look outside. I wish there was a congregation area beside bar to sit and have drinks. They made us leave the area when dinner was served at bistro. The service was not as good as other places we stayed. No one offered to help with bags (one in our party was elderly) the keys kept deactivating and while waiting in line to get it fixed a party of 15 was checking in and there was only one person at desk. So it was frustrating to have to wait a while (over 10 min) for something that wasn’t my problem in the first place. Bar staff were friendly. I found one or two workers at front desk and breakfast area rolling their eyes and being a little rude. Not what I’d expect from such a beautiful hotel. One staff even asked if I was with “the group” when I was wheeling 2 suitcases out. When I said no he just went back to his business and didn’t even offer to get the door for me. So even though the view is 5000 % worth it I think they sacrifice service knowing that will bring people in. The breakfast daily was free with my reservation. An unexpected surprise. And it was delicious with a great variety.
They had fires lit early in morning. It was beautiful.
