My room had a stunning view. Hotel is in a great location, I didn’t need a car, I walked everywhere. It’s a big hotel so staff isn’t too friendly or eager to help. It was clean - enough. At least in the important areas - bed and bathroom. Corners of my windows had cob webs and at some point a former guest had finger drew some pictures in the dust on the glass - which looks out at the view so hard to miss. Also, it’s hard to describe the weirdness of the hallways to the rooms - you go from a nice lobby to…damaged hallway walls and a 1970’s feel. They are also very long. It was good for what it is.

The Hotel was not up to the standard i thought it was. Check in was ok but it took too long and i felt the receptionist Maiko didnt really know what she was doing. The room was definitely worth the price but the view was stunning. I didnt like the shower over the bath it was difficult for my elderley husband to manage. Overall i didnt find the staff very friendly and when i went to chack out the receptionist english lady no name badge)and another chap behind the desk ignored for about 5 minutes which i thought was really rude. So overall poor customer service and a below average hotel that needs ugrading!

No smart TV, moisturiser and staff was very vague when questioned. These are some of the basics that a hotel needs. Very behind as even motels have these things now.

I had a wonderful stay at your hotel and thoroughly enjoyed the lakeside view from my room. The scenery was absolutely stunning and added a peaceful touch to my visit. The room itself was clean and comfortable. A 500m walk to a lot of eateries, bars, etc.

I loved the view of the lake & mountains from my room. Such a magical sight to wake up to. My steak was cooked to perfection. Could taste the love in the food and the staff were very accommodating. The only improvement over all would be to update their guest laundry with new washing machines & dryers to facilitate the number of guests onsite.
