The bathroom had hair in the shower and the carpets had big stains. The accomodation needs an upgrade. Also were were there on a cool spring night and the room was too hot to sleep comfortably in.

Great location, a bit tired, needs an upgrade

Location is great - right on the lake. Room is a bit tired, but great for a family - has extra kids bedroom. Bathroom was fine with excellent shower, let down by tiny washbasin with nowhere to put your toiletries. Furniture in room was ok, but the bed was uncomfortable - 2 soft single beds pushed together. Chairs outside were low down and really uncomfortable. I guess the hotel is aiming at the Asian market - all the furniture and the bed were aimed at smaller people.

I will rate 0 for the cleanliness of the property. Bedsheets were disgusting, no one cleared the rubbish bins from the bathroom. No one made beds from the kids bed. Not happy with the cleanliness.

Overall it was good. A couple of things detracted slightly. One was spots of sauce on the wall beside the dining table when we arrived. Another is lack of bench or cupboard storage space in the bathroom. Also very little towel hanging. We are asked to assist in reducing impact of washing towels by re-using them but nowhere to hang them to dry and no heated towel rails.

Room with a view

Spacious, comfortable unit, though sofa and carpet looked a bit tired. Nice to have a comfy seat for watching tv or looking at the view. Staff pleasant and helpful. Good sized thermal pool for soaking (not swimming). Lakefront location is terrific and patio area is a nice place to sit and look across lake. Cafe close by for coffees too.
