I had a lovely stay at this hotel with breathtaking views of Kootenay Lake and surrounding mountains. The staff were warm and attentive, making me feel welcome throughout my visit. While the rooms were clean and comfortable, they could use a bit of an update. The location is perfect for a peaceful getaway, though there's not much to do nearby, and the dining options, while decent, could benefit from more variety.
