My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights during a 2-week trip to Switzerland. The location was absolutely outstanding as it's conveniently located to a number of shops and restaurants, and that iconic view of Ascona. Our room was very nice, despite issues with the air conditioner leaking when we tried to use it. Our only complaint was that we had asked for a lake view, but our balcony only allowed us to see a sliver of the lake. Otherwise, it was very nice. Driving here? They have convenient parking, but it feels a little daunting when you first arrive. It's actually very easy and a convenient 2-3-minute walk. There's a great gelato shop to the right when you're leaving the hotel, and a very nice Italian restaurant (Osteria Nostrana) to the left. They had a nice breakfast offering, too!
