The setting is lovely, and the range of services available are very adequate for a short stay. The menu, whilst limited, was fine and the food was prepared very quickly. Rooms were spacious and clean, although the whole place is now a bit dated and retro😀

A small, cozy hotel with a lake, although you couldn't swim in it. Despite the highway, the hotel was quiet. With the window closed you couldn't hear anything, with the window open only noise (lake side). The building and the furnishings were a bit older, which was also partly visible. But it didn't look run-down. A renovation would do the hotel some good. The staff were always very friendly and helpful. The cleanliness left something to be desired in some places. I never felt unsafe there, there was plenty of parking and the food was also good.
