I had an okay stay at this hotel. The location was fantastic, right by the lake, which I absolutely loved. However, the room was surprisingly small, especially for the price I paid. I also found it quite challenging to sleep without AC during the summer heat. Overall, it had its pros and cons.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was fantastic, right by the lake, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The rooms were clean but lacked air conditioning, which made sleeping uncomfortable during the summer. While the staff was friendly, the dining options were quite expensive for what was offered. Overall, it has great potential but lacks some basic amenities and value for the price.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was perfect, right by the lake, and the rooms were clean with nice floor heating. However, for the price I paid, which was over CHF 300 per day, I expected air conditioning, especially in the summer. The service was decent but not exceptional, and the dining was quite pricey.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, primarily because of its fantastic location right by the lake. The clean and comfortable rooms were a plus, although I wish there was air conditioning, especially during the summer heat. Service was decent but could have been more attentive. Dining options were quite expensive, which was a bit of a downside considering the overall value for money.
