Good hotel, well located with a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. Rooms are being renovated, with a large walk-in shower, coffee machine, kettle for tea and water, and a minibar with complimentary items! Two jacuzzis on the terrace with magnificent views of the lake and mountains. Very good breakfast buffet.

Great location near the sea. Service response/responsibility might be improved outside (cubes out of service?!)

Just ok
Pros: clean, great location and view from the balcony. Front desk ladies very nice.

Cons: I believe they did surge pricing (there was some sort of festival in town). So I was expecting a $750/night room like I paid for but it was far from it. I would have given 5 stars if it was $300-400/night but the service isn’t indicative of the price we paid. The manager was rude, and they don’t actually have parking (it’s based on if they have room that day but zero advance warning we needed to arrive super early to get a spot) so you just drive in circles til you find public parking.
Wasn’t bad, wasn’t great.

Best Location the Lac

Everything was very nice; very friendly staff, very clean, and the food was delicious and tasty. I would recommend it to everyone.

Overall, the stay was fine. The reception was friendly, and I received a good introduction. The signature Thai massage in the spa was a real highlight—very professional and relaxing.

The sauna area was unfortunately very small and far too dark. While the whirlpool area was attractively decorated, the strong chlorine smell was unpleasant.

The room was spacious and exceptionally clean—one of the cleanest hotels I've ever experienced. However, the furniture was dated, and the water in the bathroom drained poorly.

Overall, an average stay with both positive and negative aspects.

Great location… Everything was great

Large rooms with beautiful view over the lake, interior is a bit dated. Liked the breakfast buffet, with choice of vegan milk and some special vegan food options. Close to the train station and the Piazza Grande.
