solid stay with a couple of hiccups

comfortable bed smooth process o u t d a t e d h o t e l
the size of my room was generous with a comfortable bed (perfect for a good night's sleep). i appreciated that the check-in process was smooth and efficient. there was also a still and sparkling water station at the bar, a nice touch, i think.
i noticed the hotel is a bit outdated and could use some upgrades. also, they have started charging $15 for on-site parking, but you can park on the street for free if you are lucky to find a spot, i guess.
Location

the hotel is within easy walking distance of the lakeside facilities. you will also find ample parking available both in the parking lot and on the road. the markets are close by too.
Rooms

rooms are a good size and kept clean daily. beds are comfortable (i liked it!). standard amenities such as slippers, tea, and coffee are included in the room. the hotel also has a garden view.
