    Very comfortable stay booked at last minute and we were very happy. Staff and food were very good. Having a hot tub was a huge bonus.
  • Anthony

    Nicest hotel in town, very commanding placement across the lake (which was frozen) and direct access from the main town. The restaurant downstairs was phenomenal. The room was frankly huge!
