A tired hotel that rides on its location. Had to use the gym in the affiliated hotel opposite which was a little more than a treadmill and rowing machine in a vacant bedroom.

The room I had was a little tired and the shower over the bath was a health and safety nightmare and flooded the room every time I used it. Its a very convenient location and a comfy bed, with nice view of the Lake from the side window.
