The room was very clean and tidy, and quite spacious. The staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. It is located right next to the lake, with a nice surrounding environment. The only downside is that the exterior appearance looks rather ordinary.

The Hotel near the lake is fairly quiet. Great blinds, curtains, large bathtub in my upstairs room. WiFi didn’t work in my room, it was a slight inconvenience for me, I guess that it’s down, not strong enough or something. The room is spacious. I was very comfortable. View of the lake was nice. There was construction during my stay but it was bearable. I highly recommend booking direct and save lots!

Room is overall really clean and price is affordable. It’s near the lake. But one thing.. the bbq spot was little disappointing. The fire was too low so the meat wouldn’t cook. Service was good. Bed is little small for two adults to sleep on. But overall, it was great!
