Clean room, nice staff, good facilities. The only thing is you can only take stairs to the second floor, so if you have big luggage, it will be a bit inconvenient.

Clean, well presented and comfortable kitchen/living/sleeping area. Bathroom had also been modernised except for the shower which was in need or refreshment and shower mixer tap was difficult to set the water temperature. Restaurant/ bar on site was very convenient and convivial, with a great veiw of sunset over the lake.

Amenities wasn’t what I saw in the pics and booked. Room was not up to standard, dirty, old, bathroom was rundown, hot water tap wasn’t working properly. No parking near unit. Had to park far behind the building. The unit shown on Expedia wasn’t exactly what was given to us. Misleading ad.

Yes, the kitchen was fully equipped with an electrical stove but cooking wasn’t allowed for some reason. Windows were too small for the bedroom so airflow wasn’t adequate for three people sleeping in there with the door shut. It was very hot and stuffy.
