Guest Reviews & Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The beautiful lakeside view from the rooms was stunning, but the outdated amenities like the small TV and lack of a microwave were a letdown. The service felt impersonal and rushed, making me question the value for money. However, the convenient location near downtown attractions was a definite plus.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms offer a beautiful lakeside view and are spacious with separate bedrooms, but the constant flushing of the toilet was a bit annoying. The service was lacking, with low-standard service and an attitude that felt rushed and unwelcoming. On a positive note, the location is ideal for exploring the downtown area and famous tourist spots. Dining was average, not included, with watery omelette served. The facilities were decent, but nothing extraordinary.
