8/10 Good
"Our room was nice, well designed and clean. amazing view on the lake which makes everything else not matter as much. The hotel is going through some revamping. Nice modern Scandinavian style and adding a bar and small plates, etc. so far the bar was not open when we really needed a well deserved drink after a hike before getting ready for later plans. The pool was icy cold, I actually got kinda sick after jumping in it after a hike. Its not a lap pool to keep your heart rate up, a small pool should be more like jacuzzi temp (keeps the families with kids away though). Stuff was nice, but not super helpful with activities suggestions. no maps or brochures on what's around. But overall a very nice, quiet, clean place close to everything, yet not in the middle of a busy part of the street. The price was right and I can totally see coming back."
