the location was superb, right by the lake.
The room had a musty smell, and the bathroom felt really dated. It all needed a good clean. the price i paid definitely didn't match the room quality.

My room needed a refresh. Although it was very clean. i could only get the radiator to be fully on or fully off. There was no in-between setting.
