The hotel is superbly located by the beach, offering proximity to the lake and various dining options. The rooms are clean and cozy, with a very friendly staff. However, the dining experience could be improved with more variety. The facilities are well-kept and enjoyable, but some additional amenities could enhance the overall stay.
