The hotel is located right on the lake, offering beautiful views, but the overall experience was somewhat marred by thin walls and inadequate breakfast options. While check-in was smooth and the room was pleasant, the noise from other guests and a poorly maintained air filter were disappointing. The dining options were quite limited, particularly for those with dietary restrictions, which could use some improvement.

The breakfast was okay but could use more protein options and variety. It mainly consisted of cold items, which was a bit underwhelming.
