Nice to have a view of the lake. We did not. Staff supplied us w stuff we needed that was not in the room. The breakfast was good. You may laugh. But the sausages where the highlight. We really enjoyed our stay.

Our room was not ready by check in time but I have to say our room was incredible! Even in the lower level! The hotel has not been renovated to its design potential in the lobby and the grounds and the acces/naming/availability of public areas. So much more could be done to make this an exceptional destination. That said. Our room was beautiful, comfortable and quiet and we would stay again.

What a unique building! The room was spacious and quiet, and the staff amenable. We were able to walk to restaurants and see freighters coming in from our room. It is in a city area, so this might not appeal to some. I just loved how they preserved the character of the building while maintaining a comfortable dwelling for travelers!

It has a lot of old character. Good size room. Comfortable bed. Rooms on one side have a fantastic view of the lake and cargo ships. Furniture in our room was heavily stained. Fridge did not work. Difficult to find main entrance. Poor signage. Not wheelchair accessible. Lots of steps. Difficult for anyone with mobility issues.
