Der Aufenthalt im Tresa Bay Hotel hat unsere Erwartungen perfekt erfüllt.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war absolut in Ordnung. Täglich gab es eine sehr grosse Auswahl an verschiedenen Broten, Käsesorten,
kaltem Fleisch, Müesli etc................ Dazu gab es einen kleinen Aufenthaltsecken, wo das Hotel kostenloser Kaffee an-
geboten hat.

Cons:

Wir wussten, dass unmittelbar in der Nähe des Hotels die Kantonsstrasse verläuft, welche vor allem am frühen Morgen und am späteren Nachmittag stark frequentiert ist durch die Pendler von Italien.
Da wir aber unser Zimmer auf der Seeseite hatten, störte uns dieser Umstand nicht wirklich.

Top Lage
Pros:

Super Lage , Sicht auf den See. Nahe an der Grenze.

Cons:

Die Zimmer und das Mobiliar sind in die Jahre gekommen.
Macht einen schmuddeligen Eindruck.
Teils war es auch staubig ( Nachttischlampe)
Kein gutes Restaurant in Ponte tresa zu finden wo man zu Fuß erreichen könnte.
Hoteleigenes Restaurant ist ziemlich teuer !
