Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Nice outlook across the lake and good location.
Negative: Unfortunately I can't give an amazing review. We were kept up most of the night with the people next to us singing and talking and in and out of the door. Walls and ceilings are VERY thin. The shower had very little pressure and most of the spouts were blocked on the shower head. There is a public carpark over the fence so there were cars parked up until late, playing loud music, running their engines and drinking and all this could be heard. The toilet cistern kept filling every 10 or so minutes. Reception area was very cold and uninviting.
Summary: Disappointing
