Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms had a nice view of the lake, but the sight of mechanical contraptions was a bit of a downside for the photos. Despite the hot temperatures, which were a challenge to regulate, the small balcony provided a beautiful view of the lake.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great location, comfortable rooms, and friendly staff. However, the dining experience left something to be desired. The price was reasonable, but there were opportunities for improvement.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay with clean rooms and a welcoming staff. The location is fantastic, close to the lake and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The dining options could be improved, mainly offering carbohydrate-based meals.
