charmed by the lakeside experience

clean roomlake viewhelpful staffcharming gardens
i spent two nights here and found several things to be quite good the room was very clean, and the lake view from my tower room really delivered on its promise the hotel staff were also particularly helpful and knowledgeable. the gardens around the hotel added to the charm.
I noticed the food could be slightly better. I felt dinner did not quite match the quality of breakfast.
