Pros:

I can’t say enough great things about this hotel. It’s updated and clean. Our view of the lake was breathtaking. We didn’t eat there due to arrival time but did have a beverage at the bar. The drinks were top notch. Highly recommend this hotel!

Cons:

We loved everything

Fantastisch hotel en zeer goede ligging
Pros:

Wat een fantastisch hotel. Ons tweede verblijf in een Foss hotel en wederom fantastisch. Wij hadden voor een paar tientjes meer een kamer geboekt met uitzicht op het meer, zeker de moeite waard! Anders kijk je uit op de parkeerplaats.

Zeer vriendelijk personeel, heerlijk uitgebreid ontbijt en diner, ruime kamer van alle gemakken voorzien en ook goede bedden en hoofdkussens.

Dichtbij diverse bezienswaardigheden dus goede ligging.

Sauna in het hotel is ook heerlijk en zeker aan te raden na een dag wandelen.

Cons:

Great, modern facility in a wilderness setting that illicits calmness and peace.
Pros:

Rooms were comfortable, roomy and modern. Breakfast was good with good variety and quality of food. Staff was friendly and helpful. Wonderful sauna.

Cons:

Everything was fine except they did not have an outdoor hot tub. It would have great because of the location and view of the lake.

Cadre idyllique
Pros:

Chambres confortables et cadre idyllique

Cons:

Manque de prises dans les chambres. Des hots tubes en plus du sauna seraient un plus.
