Staying on the ground floor with frosted windows and a damp smell wasn't exactly like the pictures, but the room itself was clean and comfy. The hotel seems a bit dated and could use some upgrades to meet modern standards, yet it was still a nice place to stay overall.

The hotel is situated in a great location, near beautiful beaches, and not too far from stunning lakes. The rooms, though a bit tired, offer a cozy stay. The service was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff. The dining experience, unfortunately, fell short with some disappointing dishes.
