Pros:

Vi hade bokat en lägenhet med balkong, men fick en med takterrass med underbar utsikt i det angränsande hotellet, som för övrigt administrerades av samma hotell.

Parkering inomhus i angränsande hotell

Would highly recommend this hotel without hesitation.
Pros:

Wonderful location (it couldn’t have been better) elegant hotel and beautiful room. Ferry dock just across the street and so many restaurants in the area.
AC excellent especially appreciated as we were here during the heat dome. Property well maintained and staff very helpful.
The breakfast included in the stay was so good and lots of variety for healthy eating.
Strange statement but I really liked the chandelier in the room! So cool.

Cons:

I prefer fluffier pillows but my husband liked the .

Rocky start,excellent finish.
Pros:

very elegant 19th century resort hotel. We had a 3rd floor corner room with a balcony overlooking the lake with tremendous views. breakfast on the terrace each morning was very good. An excellent location right across from the ferry boat docks and in front a large area of shopping and dining.

Cons:

I always find parking for check in at a new unknown place a challenge, and this was one of the worst. Finally just parked in the busy street right out front to unload and check in. There are 2 hotels (different old buildings) next to each other that together froma common interest. we guessedwrong a to which was our reservation. after that hassle it was on excellent stay at this hotel (the red one, on the right. Right next to the church).

More like a 3 star hotel than 4 star hotel.
Pros:

Breakfast was good

Cons:

Hotel was fine although the room which overlooked the lake also overlooked a main road, and also from the main ferry port which was just across the road which was noisy at times. We had a strange noise occur within the room entrance which I initially reported on the Friday evening and nothing was done about it. The noise (strange sound like gushing water or air being released) again occurred on the Sunday night at 11pm and I called the night manager so they could hear and witness the problem, which appeared to come from within the wall. They agreed to move us to another room which was an upgrade for the last 2 nights which was good of them.
It would of been helpful if the hotel had more information about things to do whilst in the lakes.
