We were there during off season. Unfortunately, the hotel restaurant wasn't open but I bet it's beautiful when open. The room was great, newly renovated and the balcony goes out back with a beautiful view of the lake. I bet it looks even more gorgeous in the summer/fall. It was contactless service so we didn't see any staff.
