    We stayed for 2 nights. The room was very clean and comfortable and quiet. Not close to the lake so we didn't have any views.

    Lovely views. Well appointed room. But very warm. We requested for a fan and it was delivered promptly. Also the nights are cool in November so if you open up the windows, it’s not warm. The bed was too soft and was uncomfortable for us
