Hotel Stella

The hotel is comfortable, with an exceptional location both from the standpoint of view (over the city, the lake) & the quiet. The pool is comfortable & pleasantly located in the garden. Dinner was pleasant & tasty but disagreeably perturbed by people being allowed to smoke on the terrace in the restaurant area. Good hot chocolate for breakfast, along with everything else you'd expect, with the notable exception of *toast*. The bed was good, with the inconvenience of having a quilt, albeit a lightweight one (which we took apart anyway, as such bedding is much too hot for summertime. There were washcloths provided.

Please note that if you travel with children, there are 3 serious drawbacks: - no guardrail on the balcony giving off the dining room - the elevator is without protective doors inside, & moreover its movement is very rapid - the hotel parking area is located in a relative blind spot for crossing the street. Room spacious but without a significant view (ok for one night but would be sad for more) & up a flight of steps from the highest elevator-accessible floor. No one pointed out where to find bathrobes for the piscine in our bedroom.
