wide selection hot shower
The breakfast had a wide selection. Buffet style options included cereals and cakes. i then ordered a full breakfast, it was wonderful. i found the superior room great. The bed was lovely and the shower was hot!
Some wiring was sticking out behind bedside tables. This poses a potential hazard.

thin walls snoring habit
the breakfast was pretty good, though not exactly generous.
i was excited about the 'luxury double room'. turned out, luxury meant no air conditioning and paper-thin walls. i could hear my neighbors arguing about what to have for dinner and their questionable snoring habits. it was so bad, i had to use the earplugs provided. who needs a relaxing getaway with a symphony of snoring all night?

adequate stay, some drawbacks

premium ingredients helpful staff great location hot room live music ear plugs
The breakfast was fresh and included premium ingredients. the staff was friendly and helpful. They were always smiling. the hotel is close to the centre, just a few minutes walk to the lake.
the room was too hot, though a fan was provided. live music from the pub across the way kept me awake until after 1:30 am. the receptionist gave me some ear plugs, but i still needed to rest more.

glass door overwhelming heat
the cooked breakfast was one of the nicest i have had. it is a 5 min walk to the marina with lots of bars and restaurants.
the bathroom has glass windows and a glass door so you can see in it. it is not what you want when going to the bathroom. the heat in the room was overwhelming and far too hot. the room needed either permanent ac or a portable ac unit.
