Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers exceptional mountain views from rooms with kitchenettes on 2 storeys, providing a cozy stay with heaters and fabulous views. The service went above and beyond to assist us in finding missing items after check-out, but could be improved in terms of customer interaction. The location is conveniently situated near town and offers a picturesque walk by the lake. The dining experience provides a lovely view of the bay and delicious homemade products. Overall, a getaway with stunning views and cozy amenities, though service could use a bit more warmth.
Our stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The rooms had a charming character and were perfect for our family of 5, including our 3 young children. The bed was incredibly comfortable, providing us with a relaxing sleep. However, the customer service could be more helpful and less abrupt at times.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with a few highlights and some areas for improvement. The rooms were spacious, modern, and clean, offering a beautiful view towards the mountains and providing a relaxing experience with the operatic music playing. However, the customer service was a bit abrupt, although the manager was exceptionally lovely and attentive. The location, nestled on a little hill, was charming, but the central area being noisy was a drawback. The dining experience with homemade fresh products was delightful, while the facilities were well-maintained and offered a range of services from dry cleaning to ski equipment hire.
The hotel is located between the airport and the city, on a little hill, still close enough to the town center. The rooms offer a dark interior specifically designed for the Mountain View, with a bath, and a delightful mountain view. The service provided by the lovely and attentive manager went above and beyond to help us look for missing personal items after check-out, but customer service could be improved as it felt quite abrupt. The dining experience, at 6.15 with a lovely view on the bay and homemade fresh products, was delightful with fresh seafood. The facilities were well-equipped and convenient for a relaxing stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully designed with stunning mountain views, and the kitchen was a great convenience. The dark interiors added a cozy vibe, but some might prefer brighter decor. The service was exceptional with the staff going above and beyond to help me find my missing items. The location was perfect, nestled on a little hill between the airport and the city, offering a peaceful escape yet still close to transport options.
