My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were smaller than expected and faced a busy street, which made things a bit challenging for me with shaky legs. On the bright side, the bathroom was nice despite the lack of an extractor fan. The service was overall good, except for some hiccups in the dining room. The location was excellent, right by the lake and close to everything I needed. The dining experience was a bit overpriced with limited choices, but the restaurant ambiance was bustling. The facilities were sufficient for my needs.

Upon arrival, the hotel seemed a bit outdated, and there were some inconveniences like a hot room and a distant location from reception and dining areas with no close disabled parking. However, the service was exceptional, with a friendly and helpful staff. The location was convenient with easy access to key attractions, though there were moments that lacked character due to the influx of transient groups. The dining experience left much to be desired, featuring a standard buffet selection that did not quite hit the mark.

I was amazed by the stunning view from my room and the peaceful atmosphere. The beds were incredibly comfy, and the room was beautifully clean and nice, especially with the balcony facing the lake. However, comparing it to their superior room made me wonder about their basic room. Overall, a perfect room for a relaxing stay.
