Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff are great, location and large spaces are great, but the rooms themselves are tired and the bathroom in particular was puzzling with inaccessible toilet paper and a flooding approach to shower drainage. Breakfast was a miss with frozen fruit salad but the free coffee and sparkling water in a very restful, relaxing lounge was absolutely fantastic.

The staff was super helpful and nice ! It makes a difference in a long trip ! They were very accommodating considering they had roof construction in the building. Nice room with scenic view on the lake with balcony to enjoy the sun at the end of a long drive. Hotel is conveniently located near E39 but also quiet. Very clean. Breakfast was excellent with good choice of food. I definitely recommend.

A reasonable hotel

Maybe a potential problem is that the nearest restaurant is about 22 miles away. The buffet style dinner is good though. The free breakfast is also very good.

Overall a disappointing stay though the hotel has beautiful views. Room was spacious and reasonably comfortable. What should have been hot food at the buffet dinner and breakfast was all cold or lukewarm at best. No other options for food nearby.
