Comme dans un parc
Pros:

Vue sur le Lac et la Montagne extraordinaire! Le petit déjeuner extra.

Cons:

La robinetterie de la salle un peu passé en terme d'âge. Les pousse pousse pour le gel douche ou le savon qui n'allaient pas du tout avec tout le reste. Mini bar très bruyant en terme de fonctionnement, désagréable la nuit.
