Helen, Jul 2025
Good location right in the town and on the lakes edge. Because of this the hotel puts minimal effort into customer service and maintaining the hotel. You'll pay a premium to stay here so as long as you're prepared for a very basic standard of accommodation and you don't mind peeling paint and mouldy bathroom walls, you won't be disappointed.
