Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a mix of pros and cons. The rooms were a bit tired and slightly cold for our baby, leading to some discomfort. While the common walkway and extensive car parking were not ideal, the missing balcony was disappointing. However, the staff were really friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The service was accommodating and informative, even though the hotel is a bit out of the main town area.
The hotel offers great value for money with spacious and clean rooms, although lacking cutlery and plates. The service was exceptional with personal attention, but there is room for improvement in the bathroom facilities. The location is awesome, close to activities but can be noisy with large groups. Dining is a highlight with awesome service, and the facilities are well-maintained.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms offered a view of the lake, clean and comfortable, though they were a little dated. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff and a convenient location. The dining experience was good but a bit pricey. I enjoyed the facilities provided.
The hotel had some strong points like friendly service and a convenient location, but there were issues in the rooms with cleanliness and maintenance. Dining options were lacking, and the prices were considered high for what was offered.
The hotel is conveniently located near town, away from road noise, with easy parking. The rooms are a bit dark but serve their purpose well if you're not spending much time inside. Great for storing bikes inside. The service was fantastic, with friendly and informative staff. The location offers beautiful views of the lake. The dining experience was average, with some good value dishes not suitable for all diets.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but there was a slight issue with the temperature control and an odd smell at times during the night. The staff provided good service, especially when we needed extra amenities. The location was convenient with plenty of parking, although some areas were a bit dark and unwelcoming. The dining options were mixed, with some dishes being tasty while others fell short. The facilities were decent but could be improved in certain areas.
