10/10 Excellent

The staff provided amazing service, and the lake view was stunning. The room was spacious with enough room to open at least three large suitcases. The bed was comfy, with good amenities; I must mention the high quality hairdryer. Although the bathroom is a bit old, it is still very clean and equipped with everything you need.
