Our room opened up directly onto the path right alongside the lake… With beautiful views! We also loved the proximity to the town, breakfast buffet, and the grotto. It was also nice to have the small gym.

Staff and the view of the lake are amazing but the hotel could use some TLC as the rooms are musty and dated. A bit far from the downtown core.

I left a tag for no housekeeping service. The staff still came to my room. Coz there was a jacket of precious guest left in the wardrobe. When I checked the room in the morning, the jacket was taken. That’s scary without asking for permission to enter my room.

Service at the bar was quite slow, especially for the drinks we ordered. We did not mind the music playing at night, but the banging from the service area as well as the music playing again from 7am on a Saturday morning was not ideal. Location and view of the lake is stunning and bed was comfy.
