My biggest gripe was the room AC didn’t work for the entire trip. I. Spite of multiple requests it was not fixed. And then to top it off, I saw a charge of 15 euros that was not disclosed at closing. God only knows what that was for. The highlights: our room balcony faced the lake. And the lady at the breakfast counter in morning was amazing.
