The Lake Hotel is a little outside of town but the grounds, hotels and ambiance are worth the uber into town. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast delish. The bar is a great for happy hour or a nightcap. We did get the VIP drink for two but forgot to use. Take advantage of the wash service(best price of our trip) and DO NOT hesitate to pay for the thermal spa. We loved it.
