How guests rate the property, aspect by aspect.
It’s close to the town centre. The rooms lacked ventilation and had a very stuffy smell whenever you walked in, and there were very few cutlery sets, so you sometimes had to wait for someone else to finish eating before you could use them.

The location is good, but the bathroom had black mould all though it.

The atmosphere was friendly with plenty of conversation in the common areas, but the privacy curtains could be a bit better.

The views are incredible over the lake and snowy mountains afar

The staff were helpful and friendly, yet the place was very dirty and smelled extremely bad with a lot of mold everywhere; the bathroom needs renovation, the carpets have never been professionally cleaned, and you should set very low expectations or you’ll feel far from your comfort zone.
