“Wonderful place to stay while touring the glaciers!”
Excellent location! When the weather is clear, the visibility is beautiful! Very close to downtown, a short cab ride or shuttle ride. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is buffet style and has all the usual selections. Certainly lots to choose from. It is on the hotel pickups for to… more

“Loved it here!”
Design Suites is a pretty hotel, with a stunning view from the restaurant area. My room was comfortable, and the interior/exterior of the hotel is quite striking. Yes, it's out of the middle of town, but it's an easy 20-30 minute walk into town, or you could take a taxi.

“Very confortable room with great view”
We had a junior suite with lake view (309). Large and very comfortable. The views over the lake are simply gorgeous. The bathroom was large also and with a jacuzzi. The only problem with the room is that it gets very hot because of the large windows – and you do not want to draw the curtains becau… more

“Great potential but let down by a lack of care!”
Hopefully this will be read as a balanced view of this hotel. The hotel is built like a glass house so in hot weather it’s boiling in the common area and the restaurant and breakfast area has no air con. The weather has been particularly warm here (23 degrees) which is about 10 degrees warmer than… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
