Lovely hotel staff and great location
Pros:

Great staff. Great surroundings and location. Enjoyed the spa pools

Bit of a labyrinth trying to get to our rooms. Had to use more than one lift. Luckily the staff are amazing and will show you around. But still a fus when you have children and shopping

Good views from Lakeside rooms, easy walking distance to town attractions.
Pros:

Location is within walking distance albeit uphill on your return from shops, restaurants and cafes. Our room had lakeside views which was a bonus.

Cons:

There is no complementary parking for guests, therefore you have to park on the street which can be problematic especially in high season.

Perfect Location
Pros:

All staff were very helpful and friendly. Room was lovely and warm (-5deg C outside!) Beautiful view of lake and snow covered mountains. A very easy walk to town centre. Excellent having covered car parking for $20/night.

Cons:

We were disappointed with the breakfast (bircher and fruit was delicious) but the baked beans and sausages were no longer warm, however there are so many good cafes in town so lots of choices. Our favourite was the Boat Shed Cafe & Bistro.

Pros:

Amazing view, quiet location, beautiful architecture, nice to have breakfast option available and reception 24hrs. Spacious rooms.

Cons:

Lots of room for improvement, starting from replacing broken/rusty items around the room, breakfast food could be significantly improved (e.g. No PINK pork sausages, replacing broken food display items, etc). Bed was saggy and uncomfortable.
