I haven’t written a review in some time, but I feel See Lodge requires a review. I’m not a very picky guest, as long as I get the food I ordered and accommodations reflecting the establishment’s asking price, I’m happy as can be. Hotel: If you want discretion, do not go there. It’s a new construction, sort of like a hotel-in-a-hotel. You can use the entire Quellenhof complex, but only See Lodge guests have access to the lodge. As it turned out, though, the hotel is more intended to convey the idea of luxury through social media as opposed to providing actual luxury. A good example would be that would be featuring guests on their own social media without informing them, let along getting consent. I wasn’t exactly thrilled to see myself in their Instagram stories. So, if you want discretion, do not go there. Food: If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, do not go there. Weeks prior to our arrival, the hotel reached out about possible food intolerances or dietary restrictions. I listed each person of our party of four, and the respective requirements. Sounds more complicated than it really is. 1x anything goes, 3x no meat – easy as, right? The second evening, the fourth course was a pasta dish (basically 10 linguine and a drop of sauce) with bacon, or, in our case, roasted onions. Except, it was bacon. Look, I don’t tell anyone what to eat or how to nourish themselves, but when a hotel specifically asks what they should and can’t serve, get it right. My insides can’t handle certain foods, I won’t bore you with anything beyond that, so after 4 courses, I spent some time hugging the porcelain throne. The restaurant was “very sorry”, so much so that the drinks, a few waters and two or three glasses of wine, were on the house. Of course, that wasn’t mentioned until after dinner so nobody would order something extraordinary. Whatever. Being given incorrect/incompatible food items continued throughout the stay. Apparently, beef broth doesn’t count as meat, neither does chicken. On a side note, the service gets incredibly slow once the restaurant reaches about 50% capacity. You’re routinely sat for 3 to 4 hours for a dinner, and breakfast ends before 11, because people definitely don’t enjoy sleeping in on holiday. So, if you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, do not go there. Service: If you enjoy good service, do not go there. Housekeeping will return the room to arrival-spec, every day. Don’t expect the air conditioning to be set to where you had it, or window shades, or anything else, really. They will set the room the way they want, not you, the paying guest. Since air conditioning is tied to a window sensor, it doesn’t work with the window opened. Housekeeping makes sure to keep windows tilted. It’s so nice returning to a hot and humid room after being outside in the hot and humid weather. Cheers! For a hotel of its claimed class, the service seems impersonal and standardised, nothing special about it at all, nothing tha
