The hotel offers cozy rooms with balconies that provide a glimpse of the outside. The staff is friendly and attentive, though they acknowledged being slightly pricier compared to nearby hotels. The location is perfect for a tranquil stay by the lake, albeit a bit distant from the town center. The dining options, while somewhat lacking variety, come with a lovely lake view.

When I walked into the room, it looked superficially clean with new furnishings. The balcony door seal was coming off, causing a draft and noise from the road. I requested earplugs, but unfortunately, they didn't have any available. The modern room was clean, had good air conditioning, but the balcony issue was a drawback.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and well-furnished, but the balcony door had a draft and noise from the road. The bathroom was lovely with a hot shower, and the super king bed was spacious. However, the open layout meant noise could be an issue at times. The service was attentive and responsive, although there were some issues with attempted overcharging. The location, overlooking Gregory Lake, was stunning but noisy due to the lakefront road. The dining options were limited, with a delayed opening time, affecting the overall experience.

I had a great stay at this hotel with its clean rooms and large bathrooms. Climbing 3 levels to reach my room was a bit tiring, though.

The hotel is nestled up the steep slopes with lovely lake views, just a stone's throw away from Gregory Park. The rooms are great and within walking distance to the park, offering captivating sights across the lake. The service is exceptional, ensuring safe navigation to all destinations and going the extra mile to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. Although the dining only opens from 8 am, the small meals available are perfect. The location is at the far end of the Lake from town, providing an amazing view and a tranquil atmosphere. Facilities are top-notch, offering everything you need for a comfortable stay.
