lovely stay near the lake

clean bathroom convenient location bag storage

The room had everything i needed. A good-sized shower and clean bathroom. the location was close to the lake and bus stops, convenient. i was allowed to leave my bags after checkout.

The street parking was a bit tricky. The street was quite narrow, made parking a little difficult.
