Relaxing Stay Near the Lake

private balconyconvenient barreasonable walk
I enjoyed my four nights here. The balcony in my room allowed me to sit in the shade in the mornings. I could also sip wine in the warm evening sun there. The pool area included a bar , made relaxing by the water convenient. I found the walk into the center of town manageable. It took only about 15 minutes.
The air conditioning did not seem overly powerful in my room.
Location

The hotel is near the lake, which offers nice views from rooms. Walking to the ferry terminals and town center takes approximately 15 minutes. The location was perfect!
Service
9/10
The staff offered quick check-in and were helpful with directions. I noticed a parting gift of a bottle of fizz given to some guests, that was kind. Staff are multilingual, too.
Dining

Breakfast had fresh options, including scrambled eggs. I was able to eat outside each morning, a great start to the day. Good free parking and easy walk to centre and ferry terminals.
Facilities

There is a swimming pool on the premises, it is of a good size. Plenty of loungers are available next to the pool. Plenty of parking space and an easy walk from the rail station.
