"The room had lake view and that was truly beautiful. The sun rose over the lake in the mornings. Service was great, but some things were not working. They really tried to get things right. The room did not heat, so they gave me a different room. In the new room, the chromecast did not work. They tried to fix that but did not succeed. Overall, it was a positive experience."
