Awesome property with a good view of the lake. My room was quite small. Two twin beds and a table with two chairs, plus the wall unit with the TV. That’s it. Parking area is tight as well. But the breakfast delivered to my room so I could eat it while enjoying the view was much appreciated. Plus the menu variety and food quality were great. And did I mention that view? Lol

The hotel is modern and sleek designed with spacious room and bathroom, kitchen utensils and pots are a bit worn, the breakfast is really good with a wide range of choices, the only thing that annoys is there is no YouTube.
