underwhelming experience

warm room disappointing menu
the setting near the lake was acceptable. the views were nice (i did appreciate that).
my room, a beautiful double room, was too warm. a small fan tried to provide some cool air, but it did not work well. the dinner menu in the bar was also disappointing, offering few appealing choices.

friendly staff large room drink selection
The room offered good space and a well-equipped bathroom. The bar staff were really friendly, and the cocktail selection met my expectations. I would gladly return for a longer visit next time!!!
The room service menu had limited late-night options, so I would eat earlier next time.
