I had a pretty nice time at the hotel, as the rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious. The staff was friendly and always had a smile on their faces. However, I noticed that the dining experience was somewhat lacking, especially with the quality of the coffee and juice machines. The location is beautiful and right next to a lake, which was fantastic, but the noise from the staff during their breaks was a bit annoying at times.

The rooms are spacious and very clean, making for a comfortable experience.
