Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Edgewater Hotel trades entirely on its location. For the premium rate charged, the experience is shockingly poor. The rooms are desperately dated, feeling like a 1990s time capsule. However, the critical failure is the complete lack of climate control. There is no air conditioning, and not even a basic fan was provided, making the room unbearably stuffy. While AC might not be listed, its absence at this price point is unacceptable and should be glaringly disclosed. Furthermore, the staff were indifferent and unhelpful, adding to the frustration. You pay for a luxury lakeside stay but receive a sub-par, uncomfortable motel experience. Avoid until major renovations and policy changes are made.

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, stunning views over the lake, and really nice room. We enjoyed an evening in the outdoor hot tub. It’s about a 30 minute walk into the main strip in town but we really enjoyed the walk and being that bit further round the lake. Plenty of parking in the town if people needed to drive instead. Perhaps the bathroom could do with a refurb, but that certainly would not stop us from coming back.
