The hotel is in a beautiful location that overlooks the lake, and the staff were really helpful during my stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but they feel quite dated and could use some renovations. The facilities, including the indoor grotto and pool, were enjoyable, but the dining options were somewhat limited and not the best value for money.

I had a wonderful time at the hotel with friends celebrating birthdays. The location was fantastic right by the lake, and our room provided a beautiful view with a cozy patio. While the breakfast and dinner were enjoyable, the room lacked some soundproofing and had a bit of dated decor. Overall, the experience was relaxing and pleasant, making it a lovely getaway.
