I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were modern and well-kept with flat-screen TVs and a lakeside view, equipped with a microwave and refrigerator. The service was excellent, including housekeeping and assistance with ski passes. The location, right on the lake with boating vessels available and comfortable beds, offered a great sunset view on Lake Flower. The dining experience with fresh bread rolls was a nice touch. Overall, a lovely place to stay with excellent value for money.
