The hotel is in a beautiful location by the lake, a short walk to the town and close to a lake beach. The rooms are super spacious and feature a gorgeous balcony facing the lake, but the air conditioning seemed faulty. The service was mixed, with some helpful staff but others seemed distant. The dining experience had lots of choices but was marked by poor quality and service. The location is central for a good guest experience but not ideal due to some service issues.
