a pleasant experience

comfortable seatingquiet roomlake viewdisappointing menu
i stayed for a couple of nights. the hotel had comfortable seating in quiet rooms. i found it ideal for relaxed conversation. the wonderful lake views from the sheltered terraces were a highlight (even in the shoulder season).
the menu for bar dinner was a bit disappointing. i thought there could be more variety. the breakfast compensated for this, at least.

inconsistent serviceuninterested management
The dining experience was surprisingly inconsistent. servers forgot our vegetables during one meal. i also felt pressured to order dessert immediately. I prefer to decide on my own time. the food was decent, but the rushed and forgetful service detracted from the overall experience. also, i found it odd that senior management never addressed my concerns . it gave me the impression they weren't really interested in guest satisfaction. maybe they were just too busy counting wedding money...
