"We had a beautiful room with a balcony overlooking the lake — what a treat for us! Our room was comfortable and freshened up daily. Breakfast, local transportation and dining options were terrific. Highly recommend- especially for the location! Tips - Use the funicular to/from the train station. Be careful in the shower — awkward size."
