St. James Way

Although the room was ok the hotel overall was very dated! The restaurant was separately run from the hotel and the pool area while nicely located on the side of the lake was in need to maintenance and modernisation… I was very surprised that the hotels.com rating for this hotel was so high… at best this is a 3-star hotel… The staff were perfectly friendly and helpful, but there were not enough of them. You had to find the restaurant staff if you wanted a drink while sat by the pool area. We did eat in the restaurant on one night and although the food was good, it was expensive.. If you are used to a good standard of hotel on holiday, I would not recommend this one.

Breakfast was great although menu stays the same.

Old resort. Fairly well maintained but needed updating. If your looking for that old World charm this is the place. Seemed like the staff was short handed. No real chef presence. Three man team running food to rooms cleaning and running front desk. For a fully booked hotel this seemed odd. There was a dinner advertised as buffet but it was not available on night we stayed. Friday and Saturday? Was the head chef on vacation? Very odd. Also we ordered room service two nights due to nothing really being available past 8 pm in the area to eat. Quality of the food was okay. Not what I would expect from a “Resort”. On the second night it took 1.5 hours for our food to be delivered to our room. We ordered a pizza, a ham and egg/ cheese sandwich, and a soup. The pizzas were advertised as a chicken pizza yet the pizza had slices of ham on top with no chicken whatsoever. ( bad advertising / meal ruining to this that do r eat pork). Pizza Cost was $ 23 franc which was pretty absurd considering the size.( it was a measly four slices). The staff was very nice and polite And seemed like They were Trying their Hardest but it was Obvious that labor and food cost cuts had led them to be forced to present in the manor that they did. Not going back. This place had beautiful views but wants worth the $499 night stay in Francs. Ira has so much potential but just needs the right leadership / management to get it back on track .
