The hotel provided an amazing stay with spectacular views of the lake from my room, making my mornings delightful. The breakfast was exceptional with plenty of options to choose from, which really added to the experience. Although there was some ongoing construction nearby, it didn't detract too much from the overall enjoyment. I would have loved a larger pool area to relax in, but the available facilities were still well-maintained and enjoyable.
