Diana “Highly recommend and great location”
June 13, 2025
Reception staff very friendly and professional. I generously was upgraded, thank you. Room spotless and lovely view over the lake. Location central to everything. Heat pump kept the room warm and cosy, and the bed was very comfortable. Excellent water pressure in the shower! I would not hesitate to stay again.
