Acceptable Stay with Definite Shortcomings

missing amenitiesinattentive staff

The room lacked basic amenities. I found it unacceptable that there was no coffee maker. Securing extra towels required locating housekeeping staff, quite inconvenient. the staff at breakfast were not attentive. Clearing tables and assisting guests seemed a low priority.

the location of the hotel on the lakefront was acceptable.

The hotel felt very dated. the air conditioning barely worked, so the room was uncomfortably warm. breakfast service was disorganized. Staff seemed uninterested in refilling empty trays, even when informed.

The room featured a balcony overlooking the lake. I enjoyed the scenery. Breakfast included a wide selection. The outside tables had lake views.

The outside of the hotel by the roadside needs repainting.

Wonderful Stay at This Hotel

convenient locationtasty optionsmaintained gardenscheck-in personnel

I appreciated the convenient location. Breakfast included several tasty options. I was grateful for the lake view from the balcony rooms, a beautiful sight. The green team kept the gardens well maintained.

The check-in personnel offered little help. I think they need additional training.
