We have stayed at the Hotel since the mid eighties. Last time was in 2018. Since then,big changes. Almost all of them negative: no concierge,no room maintenance,low quality amenities,no flower arrengaments in the elevator area. No places to have a good meal.No minibar and I presume no room service. Understaff,underpay,undersatisfied. It was a luxury Hotel with a fantastic view of the lake,now it just has the same fantastic view of the lake. I don’t know whether the Hotel will survive under its actual conditions and it is so regrettable.

Overall the room was good and the staff nice and helpful. However it was frustrating that every time we needed more glasses or silverware we had to walk down to the restaurant ourselves to get it. Also frustrating that there was not a mini fridge in the room.
