Lovely setting

Comfortable place and beautiful setting overlooking the lake. The guest lounge was especially nice. Unfortunately, the dining facility is under renovation, so the breakfast buffet was only adequate. It should be completed soon.

Fix the heating issues

It’s a nice hotel except for heating problems throughout the hotel. The rooms get to cold or to hot because the auto temp doesn’t work depending on which room you stay. The hotel area in general is cold. The breakfast area has no heat at all so it’s too cold to enjoy eating. Fix the heating issues and it becomes a good quality hotel with an excellent lakeside location.
