    “Room was spacious, clean & had a great view of the lake. Loved that housekeeping changed towels/bedding daily especially with having young children. Loved having the lake walkway so close for an easy walk into town with kids.”

    “Der Empfang war sehr herzlich. Die Parkmöglichkeiten hinterm Haus sind ideal. Das Zimmer ist sehr groß und sehr geräumig. Wir hatten einen herrlichen Blick von der ersten Etage auf das Meer. Davor ist zwar eine Hauptverkehrsstraße, aber die stört gar nicht. Das Frühstück besteht aus einen Saft, einem Heißgetränk und einer a la Carte Frühstücksspeise. Alles sehr lecker. Keine 100 Meter weiter ist man am Strand und auch die belebten Gassen mit Bars und Restaurants sind innerhalb von 5 Minuten zu erreichen. Ein wunderbarer Platz um Zwischenstation zu machen.”

    “Staff were very helpful and very friendly. The young lady at reception upgraded us to a lakefront room without any trouble and was very happy to do so. Stayed with my sister who is out from Australia and it made our stay. Lionels (the onsight restaurant) setting, staff and food was fabulous. We had a perfect stay.”
