I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The cleanliness was impeccable, with well-maintained rooms and common areas. The staff were friendly and welcoming, particularly the receptionists who were always there to assist with any questions or requests. The location was convenient, with a bus stop right outside the hotel and a pleasant 20-minute walk along the lake to reach the town center. Additionally, the breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from.
Don't have any issues at all.
