Great lake views. Very friendly receptionist. Room was ok, bed comfortable but obscure glass window in bathroom looked out on outside corridor. No curtain, no privacy as people can still see through (movement, shape etc).

Beautiful view and a nice spot. I just can't give any higher rating due to the bed being uncomfortable and the hallway light not being blocked out by the curtains.
