For the price this was a great place to stay- bang for buck. Staff were over accomodating and super friendly. I travelled with mum and forgot to ask for the sofa bed too. We asked for sheets to make it upourselves but they insisted that they make it up for us and did. Great spot, close access to everthing but in a quieter part of town. Gave the real holiday vibe.

No lake view. Fridge near the bed rattled all night with no let up. Bed was uncomfortable and the pillows kept loosing shape. Not the best sleep. Room was clean but no lake views. Bright light in room at night from outside lights.

The room was clean, Smelt good once we walked in. It had no faulty electrical switches. Amazing staff, really considerate although the shower head was a tiny bit broken and on full blast would spray out the side and hit the floor it was no issue to just simply turn down the pressure. All in all an excellent experience.
