This hotel offers a serene escape with beautiful views of the lake and mountains, making for a peaceful stay. The room I had was spacious and equipped with a hot tub, which was a lovely surprise. However, the dining options were quite limited, and while the staff was welcoming, I felt service could be a bit more attentive. Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking comfort and tranquility without breaking the bank.
