Nice little hotel with a view of the lake. Design gives a warm vibe and is super cool. The service was great with friendly employees and a warm welcome. The only downsides are the poorly soundproofed rooms (not that bad) and the fact that you have to cross the street to the main hotel to sometimes get service or drinks (maybe because it was a weekday). I would definitely go back!

Loved the area. The lake the resort is on was awesome, rooms are a bit dated but they do the job. Even with having the balcony door the rooms stayed warm and quiet. I'd return if given the chance
