Really enjoyed our stay, The hotel was wonderful, area perfect, facilities and local amenities very good. My only complaint would be that i paid a lot to stay here for a week, paid for a balcony and got a Juliet windows, which wasn't even big enough for us both to sit at and view the lake. We should have complained, but were out more than in.
