I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location near the lake is fantastic for outdoor activities like hiking and swimming. The rooms were spacious and generally well-equipped, but the lack of basic amenities like a fan and an iron was a letdown. The service was friendly, but our arrival experience could have been better. Overall, it’s a good spot, especially for nature lovers, but certain aspects need improvement.
