8/10 Good
"The property was quite older but well maintained. The location is the best part. Right across from the lake. Walking distance to the little go karting place. Buffet although basic, was well maintained and refilled well. But we went early. Not sure how it was after 8am. Gym was adequate and clean. Front desk were warm, friendly and professional and so were the housekeepers, whenever we bumped into them. Overall a good experience. Would stay there again."

"Bed was very good and comfortable. We booked a king which was quite large in the room. Lots of drawer space but a bit cramped for longer than one night stay. AC worked fine. No elevator. Breakfast was really good. Hot fresh hash browns, scrambled eggs, 2 sausages, 1 slice toast. Not real juice but very good when we expected a continental breakfast. It is served to you. 3 minute walk to beach. It is a delightful walk along the lake. Would stay again."
