lovely lake views

bright room spacious room free water

I had a room with a lake view and it was very bright and without obstructions. the location is slightly outside the town center. That worked fine for me. free drinking water was available in the lobby. my room was spacious.

The lift is old and small. It fits only six people. hotel staff used the guest lift frequently. this slowed things down.

Good stay with minor issues

friendly staff updated furnishings

The staff were very helpful and friendly (always a plus). Breakfast offered good choices. I found the pastries especially fresh. The massive televisions in the newly decorated room were a nice surprise. The updated furnishings.

The outdoor swimming pool was unheated. I couldn't use it, even though it was summer. one of the two jacuzzis was out of service. This meant there were limited options .

The hotel is a suitable distance from the town center. This provides a balance between accessibility and quiet. The views from the hotel were indeed really good, especially from the lake view rooms.
