I liked the grounds near the lake. I could take a walk there. the staff, they are friendly. plus, the room include a fridge which is a big bonus.
The hot water runs very slow. The shower wasn't great because of this. there were no outside lights at the hotel. the steps to the front door was difficult to negotiate as its uneven without lights.
