Au Lac Charner Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"If I could give a 4.75 rating I would. Ants in our bed on our first night and our shower being situated on our balcony were the only negatives to a wonderful hotel stay. The hotel and our room were beautifully and tastefully decorated. Staff were attentive. Hotel is well situated for local attractions. Rooftop pool and bar is a big plus. Breakfast buffet had an extensive range of choices. Almost a perfect score."
