5.0/10

I had specifically selected this hotel from their website, but unfortunately, the room had no cable, a wobbly toilet, and a faucet that didn't work. The lack of AC and only having fans made the stay uncomfortable. Additionally, the room had no fireplace, a tiny bathroom, and the bed was extremely uncomfortable.

Rooms

5.0

The room had no cable, a wobbly toilet, and a faucet that didn't work, making the stay less than ideal. The absence of AC and only having fans added to the discomfort. Other aspects like the lack of a fireplace, a small bathroom, and an uncomfortable bed didn't contribute to a pleasant stay.

Service

5.0

While some staff members were pleasant, there seemed to be confusion and overall the service was not as comfortable as expected. The walk to a private beach was nice, but it didn't offset the discomfort of the stay.

Location

6.0

The location wasn't impressive for the price paid, and the hotel was closed for private events during my stay. Despite being close to everything, it didn't live up to the expectations for the cost. The proximity to a private beach about a 10-minute walk away was a redeeming aspect.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was good but could have been more substantial. The food quality was acceptable, but certain aspects like no spread for toast made it less enjoyable.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities lacked comfort and convenience, with no AC, a wobbly toilet, and a non-functional faucet creating inconvenience. The absence of a fireplace, a small bathroom, and an uncomfortable bed added to the disappointment.

8.2/10

I had a great stay at this hotel during the holiday season. The rooms were full of fun and charming touches, from the cool decor to the fabulous fireplace. I especially loved the mini cooler instead of the typical ice bucket. However, the premium pricing may be due to the holiday season, which is something to consider.

The rooms were at a premium, but the little touches and fun decor made my stay enjoyable.

Service

9.0

The service was so friendly and extremely helpful, making it a comfortable experience for my wife and me. I appreciated the staff's welcoming demeanor.

Location

9.0

The location was fantastic, within walking distance to the beach, shopping areas, and key attractions like the Gondola and the lake. It offered a rustic, calming feel while still being close to town.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was a bit lacking, with a long wait to cook our own waffles and limited breakfast options. However, the continental breakfast was above and beyond, standing out as one of the best I've had.

Facilities

8.0

The hotel offers great facilities, including access to a private beach, ski pass vendor, tours/ticket assistance, and even a happy hour. However, more variety in the dining options would have been a plus.
