I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, set by a picturesque lake surrounded by nature. The rooms were spacious and well-kept, and I really appreciated the amenities provided. However, I did notice some green algae in the lake, which might not appeal to everyone. Also, while the dining options were decent, they could benefit from more variety. Overall, it was a good experience, but there were a couple of areas that could use some improvement.
