Travling with family, We found this motel great for the kids with the swimming pool, hot tub the two bedroom two level unit with flat screen tv with spa bath in main room with great lake and mountain veiws stayed 7 nights will definatly be back next year.

I booked in 16 golfers to stay there. Mainly because of the location so we could all walk to town, pubs and nightlife! A big plus. Great location. There is a mix of the newly renovated and old rooms. The new rooms are nice and I had a room that would of been great with my wife. Nice view and... More

Understand they are new owners, not managed. Lady at the front desk was very friendly & welcoming. Showed us our unit, immediately we were so pleased with the stunning view of the lake & mountains on both levels. Our unit no 6 is a 2 level chalet consisted of modern kitchen with cooking facilities & fridge. Leather lounge furniture, flat... More

We stayed here February 2009 when there were three of us, but this time we booked on line (via the AA system I believe) needing accommodation for two. The on line system works well as it shows which units are available but you need a map of the property to see exactly where your unit is. The welcome as before... More

When I told the lady on the phone, I had booked at $140 a room, she rudely stated that they were now $170. So I cancelled my booking and have... More

The man behind the counter at reception was so rude, implying we were going to "do a runner", that he made us pay up front, add an extra $10 for a spare key, 50cents for extra jug of milk, $2 for a paper etc.. We get the feeling that this place will not be open for very much longer. The... More

Just returned from my seventh stay at this comfortable place. Le Chalet Suisse is not the Ritz and certainly isn't the luxury venue that I would recommend for a romantic escape. But the rooms are clean and the beds are really comfortable and for those who like to cook simple far the small kitchen does the job. Location is great... More
