Perfect - this is the place to stay!
Wow, what a lovely hotel! The location couldn’t be beat - we walked everywhere with the gorgeous lake in front, the gardens to the left, surrounded by shops and restaurants. The free valet parking was easy to use, but we really didn’t need a car. The hotel itself is historic but comfortably luxurious with high ceilings and oozing character. We enjoyed the lovely parlor, which is a living room open to the small cadre of guests staying at any particular time (there are only 5 rooms in the main building). We met some other families during the evening drinks and canapés, which were Included in our stay, and I used the space for some work video conferences during the morning hours, when I did not want to disturb my family sleeping in our room. Overall, Eichardt’s was warm and comfortable. Service was outstanding and we didn’t want to leave. The main picture on the hotels.com Website shows a hot tub, which is belongs to the penthouse room and isn’t open to anyone else. A bit misleading since you don’t need your swimsuit, but everything else here was phenomenal. We will be back!

Upon arrival at Eichardt's Private Hotel (the entrance and lobby were very hard to find!), we were greeted by a nice man we weren't sure was the concierge, guest manager, or bellman. After informing us that our car was parked in the wrong location, he grabbed a luggage cart and came out to unload our luggage which he proceeded to wheel down the street to our lakefront apartment. In hindsight, he may have suggested that we walk down together to view the room and that he would deliver the luggage later. He gave a thorough review of the room amenities but explained nothing about the property itself, restaurant hours, fitness options, etc. At one point during our stay the wrong car was brought to us when we requested ours. Overall, the staff seemed to not be coordinated and no one seemed in charge nor committed to excellent service befitting a property commanding that price. Also, our room was 'tired'. The grout in the bathroom was dirty (a good bleaching would help!), the rug in the living room was frayed, and the upholstery was worn. We also noticed a large boat at the dock with the hotel name on it. Was that a service or tour option we could have taken advantage of?

Disappointing: Room without any windows!
Disappointing to be given a room that did not have any windows! A bit cheeky for a so-called 5 star hotel, as it felt quite claustrophobic. A mention of this at booking would have been appreciated. In addition, soundproofing was terrible - our room was next to a kitchen, and all sounds were clearly audible, from conversations, to the radio, pots and pans and more. We left feedback in the room on the hotel's feedback form as we were checking out very early and couldn't address it in person. No one has been in touch since. Shame to be let down by what should not have been offered as a room without warning. In contrast, staff and service are really great, and location is unrivalled. Overall, the feeling of the place is a bit like a B&B, rather than a hotel, it's main income source looks like the bar and restaurant.
