a mediocre experience, not quite up to par

blackout curtainspayment confusionbland meal
the blackout curtains in the room worked as expected , keeping out the midnight sun.
upon arrival , there seemed to be confusion about payment. i was asked to pay again , despite having already settled the bill online , an error not quickly resolved. the restaurant offered limited options , the menu felt uninspired , and my meal tasted bland , lacking any real seasoning.

Wonderful Stay Near the Lake

clean roomamazing viewscomfortable gathering areas
the rooms are clean with amazing views (i especially loved the lake view). the breakfast had many options including pastries, breads, yogurt, and smoked salmon. the hotel has several stylish and comfortable gathering areas including a classy bar lounge area.
the most expensive accommodations during my two-week stay had a low price-value ratio, slightly disappointing.
