I’m satisfied my stay. Every staff is awesome and supportive. But the hotel amenities are to much bad and expired. I will add some photos. I can’t add videos

Great room, serene view and service especially from staff at dining/breakfast hall. However the wifi is unreliable perhaps due to the signal at such high altitude. But I was disappointed that my wifi was deactivsted on the last day before I checked out.

Went with family and it was great, very hospitable, beautiful view of the lake, delicious food and amazing staff. Mr Anand was a joy and hosted the evening game of Housie at the Hearth. Rooms were very spacious with a great balcony directly looking upon the lake. Great experience if you have the money to make it happen

This is 100 year old property, with its own charm. The best part about the hotel is the location and staff. The lake side view is breathtaking, there are plenty of amenities in the property. The staff is very welcoming. This is best place to visit with family and kids. Food was good but the menu can be improved. Most of the sight seeing is around the hotel, so you do not have to travel much.

The property is so beautiful, but more than the property the people giving us the services are the nicest souls ever. Special mention to arun and sharon at the reception, Robin at the restaurant. The tambola game by anand is really fun at the lobby and we never missed it during our stay at the location. Anand makes us really comfortable and involved! Food is yum, the rooms are really well maintained and comfortable.
