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.

The hotel has stunning views of Kootenay Lake and offers a peaceful escape into nature. However, the lack of staff attention and the rundown condition of the rooms made for a disappointing stay. While the location is beautiful, the service left much to be desired, and the overall experience did not meet expectations.
