Hotel was good. Small boutique kind of hotel near the lake. But the room heating facilities were poor and we suffered from the cold temperatures in the night. When asked if the heating can be increased, the hotel staff said that that is how the heating is. So we had to sleep in the uncomfortably cold temperatures.

Nice place a bit outside of the town in a very quiet neighbourhood. We had a very nice night playing pool with the staff. Good breakfast and a nice room in an old colonial style building. Overall a bit run down though.
