Great rooms but while we had view of the lake directly , the way the building is constructed , you cannot avoid seeing the roof of the next level building. Also they should really have a solution for the street light. The shades that’s provided does NOT block the street light.

Exceptional staff (shout out to Max in particular). Room was spacious, amazing view, phenomenal shower pressure and loved the stroll along the lake to town or the option for the shuttle to and from. Truly amazing experience. Would stay again for sure and highly recommend to all!

Davoud

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel was super expensive for what it offered. The gym was really cheap and poor selection of equipment. Just one treadmill that did not work. The hotel was too far from town. No pool or other amnesties. The shuttle service was full a lot of times and could not be used. For the price that is 10x other places, this place is simply not worth it.
