The hotel standard and cleanliness is terrible. This so call a 4 star hotel is unbelievable, completely run down, disgusting carpet/floor, cobwebs everywhere, moldy in the bathroom windows and ceilings, black mold in the shower, stains on the floor. The room where the breakfast served is disgusting, it was so uncomfortable to eat in there. The smell mold in the building make me sick. I'd like to thank the two ladies, one in reception, who checked us in/out, and the one who served our dinner. Both were very nice and welcoming.

Extremely quiet and peaceful stay with a nice view of lake brunner. Nothing noteworthy and nothing out of the ordinary either. Breakfast could have better selections other than toasts and cereals but we understand the simplicity nature of the place. No fanciful glamour of the busy touristy places.

This is the perfect spot in Lake Brunner. We had an amazing view of the lake on our ground floor room with parking outside. There is a bar/restaurant on site where we had dinner and breakfast the next morning. Both meals were delicious. Our room was clean and tidy. We will definately be staying here again.
