Whenever I book a hotel, I always look at both hotels.com and the hotel's own website, in this case accor.com, in order to get a full picture. Hotels.com correctly makes no mention of "lake view," but accor clearly indicates that even the lowest room category (Classic) offers either lake view or city view. I mistakenly assumed that the hotel's site was more complete and happily booked on hotels.com anticipating a lovely 3 day stay on the beautiful Bodensee. I was thrillled at the prospect of relaxing & gazing at the lovely lake from my room for hours on end. I booked 5 months in advance. Upon arrival, I repeated my request at check-in for a lake view room as indicated in the "special requests" section of my hotels.com reservation. I was advised that no such views existed! After communicating with management, I was advised that the accor website should have stated "lake side," instead of "lake view," but that is also false as there are huge 10 story buildings between the lake and the 3 story hotel. I received merely an apology from the hotel -- no free breakfast, no upgrade, no discount, no voucher for a future visit, nothing. They already had a guarantee of my payment & were apparently not interested in making amends for their false advertising. So, a fail on customer service where they had a chance to attempt to make up for their initial failure. I will definitely return to Bregenz but never to the Mgallery. FYI, this Mgallery was formerly branded a Mercure.
