I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, near the lake and just a stone's throw away from downtown. The rooms were modern and spacious, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. However, the dining options were a bit limited, impacting the overall experience. The facilities, especially the pool, were top-notch and added to my enjoyment. The value for money was reasonable, but there were a few areas that could be improved.
