Beautiful view and a nice spot. I just can't give any higher rating due to the bed being uncomfortable and the hallway light not being blocked out by the curtains.

Great lakeside location. Large clean room. Had everything everything we needed. Lift to upstairs level was useful - though 'clunky'. Seemingly reliable though.
