"the location of the hotel is perfect, it is the closest one to the lake and the room have nice lake view. It have nice security system to protect our items. The service of the reception is really good. When we found the dryer in the laundry room is not working,they help us to get refund on the fees we pay. Yes,they have a 24 hours laundry room.but one of the dryer machine is not working,so we can only report it in the next morning."
