Great location and would stay again

The location is excellent close to town and on the lakefront. I have stayed several times before. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot with great water pressure. The unit was extremely clean.

  • These are minor issues but I would have liked a TV in the room, even a small one: The WiFi was pretty rubbish. Also, a microwave in the unit would have been great. There was one in the kitchen which I used but it would have been nice not to have had to walk outside in the rain just to reheat my dinner. However, I would definitely stay again.

Sweet accommodation! Close to everything, super comfortable beds, and a well-equipped kitchen and living room, easy to meet people and a good atmosphere! The staff is pleasant and helpful. Ask to be in a room in the building of the reception - it's the most convenient there.

Great private room for short stay

The private room is better than a lot of hotels I have stayed in. Large and spacious. The location is a short walk into the town center, with views of the lake. Staff were very accommodating when I arrived early as well
