This hotel was such a great value for what I paid and basically amounted to a real 1-bedroom apartment. It's located very close to the town centre and had both comfortable accommodation and great amenities.

Stayed here as a stopover but probably the smallest room we have ever stayed in. Parking is limited as is the hotel dining who were unable to accommodate us even though only half the tables had been booked.

The staff were amazing and friendly. But the price for the room I got was that impressive for a five star Hotel it was a bit lacking if I can get my money back, I would. One the pillowcases was torn, and just didn’t feel like a 5 star place.

Unfortunately, I had the ‘Standard’ Room which was a very small dark room facing one of the car parks. A pity really when this hotel is geared up to benefit from the views of the lake or the mountains. Lesson: pay the extra for the premium rooms. Friendly staff and ok restaurant. Treat yourself as you’d probably only stay one night passing through.

The room was ridiculously small, had to leave the suitcase in the car as no room with the thinnest wardrobe I have ever seen, not suitable for people on long trips with more than rucksack for baggage
