What a lovely surprise. I stayed at Hotel Waldhalle on a business trip over the summer and had a…read morewonderful time. My "room" was the entire upper wing of the top floor complete with a full kitchen and a view of the lake below. Breakfast in the dining room was very German complete with sliced meats, a nice selection of cheese, and surprisingly good croissants. The dining room is a semi-circular glass walled space with lake views and dappled light streaming in through the forrest which makes for a spectacular breakfast experience. Dinner was also spectacular because the food was so good. My pork roast was superb, some of the best I have ever had. Service was spot on. I even had the chance to practice my German. All in all, a wonderful place to stay and dine for an American who lives the California life...

Large rooms; clean and well equipped bathroom. Pleasant lakeside setting and top notch dining for…read morethe most part. However, the place was not up to my expectations of a four star experience. I was here in mid December and there was a noticeable lack of warmth from the heating in the room -- even at maximum temperature of Five. The slight chill that lingered throughout my two night stay here made the experience of soft beds and poor lighting much worse. The management is obviously economizing at the customer's expense. The hotel interior reminds me of the type of hotel a mid level Tour Director contracts for his or her traveling group - one that's neither good, nor bad. Parking is a squeeze. Staffing is limited. The hotel is showing its age and is tired just like some of its patrons, including myself. Thats all the more reason to insure it is something more welcoming and not just an average place to stay.
