Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms definitely need a restoration; they are small, old-fashioned, and every element seems to have a problem, from the wardrobe to the bathroom. However, the service was amazing, with very helpful staff, even though it was a bit noisy with other guests congregating late at night and early in the morning. The location is beautiful, with views of the lake on nearly three sides of the property, although it could be cleaner. The dining experience was hit or miss, with some good options but also cold and limited choices. The facilities need improvement overall.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a range of matching wooden furniture, but they are in need of restoration. The service was polite and helpful in accommodating our room preferences. The location, with beautiful views of the lake, is ideal for exploring the national park nearby. The dining experience was subpar, with limited choices and cold dishes. The facilities need improvement but overall provide basic amenities.
The hotel offers a beautiful location with stunning views of the lake on nearly three sides of the property. The rooms, although spacious, are in need of restoration and show signs of age. The service provided was helpful and accommodating. The dining options were subpar with limited choices and poorly presented buffet spreads. Overall, the facilities come with a mix of positives and negatives.
The hotel room was very large with a king-sized bed and a range of matching wooden furniture, making it unique. The rooms were spacious, very clean, and offered great views over the lake. However, the room lacked ambience and was not super clean.
