Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a great location, right across from the lake and in the middle of everything. The rooms were a bit outdated and on the smaller side for the price, but the cleanliness was a concern for me. The service was a mix of cranky and overwhelmed staff and welcoming, courteous team members. Dining was a standout experience with delicious food and great poolside amenities.
The hotel is in a prime location, perfect for exploring the nearby attractions on foot. While the rooms show signs of age with outdated fixtures and poor quality sheets, the cleanliness is commendable. The service is top-notch, providing a professional and friendly experience. Despite needing some room updates, the hotel presents a decent value for money.
The hotel has a good location with easy access to souvenir shops and restaurants within walking distance. The rooms were a bit dated and in need of minor repairs, especially in the outdated bathrooms that require serious upgrading. The service was friendly and accommodating, trying to rectify any problems encountered. The dining experience varied from very good to disappointing, depending on the meal and location within the hotel.
The hotel offers a great location with beautiful views of the lake. The rooms are cozy, but the small beds and heating instructions were a bit inconvenient. The service is professional yet lacking in hospitality training. Dining is good but be prepared for extra charges. The facilities are sufficient for a comfortable stay.
