Comfortable room and great location with a short walk into town.
Pros:

Great location with very friendly staff and free off road parking.

Cons:

Rooms are not soundproof and the coming and goings from the neighbours in the hallway was annoying. Although the parking is free the spaces are very tight.

Good place to stay
Pros:

Good location, on-site parking for no charge, friendly staff, daily room service with options to request new linen or not, windows that can be opened to air out the room, spacious, good shower pressure, 24 hr reception if I'm not wrong...

Cons:

The bathroom exhaust system was weak so it was a wet experience. I chose to shower with the bathroom door ajar and windows also open which fixed the problem but the premises should probably look into that. The other thing was parking - just a warning to fellow travellers - some people are incapable of parking between the lines so we found ourselves parking on the street the first night & in the overflow on the 2nd night.

Great location, friendly staff and good rooms
Pros:

Location was excellent, very close to the lake and main street!
Amenities were also good, nice resturant and a good breakfast set up.
The front reception staff and resturant staff were friendly and very helpful.

Cons:

Car parking was a little challenging, we ended up parking on the street one night, but it was close to the hotel so it wasn't a problem.
The bathroom was quite small for tall people and didn't appear to have a fan to extract the steam/moisture.

Great location, good value, clean but dated
Pros:

Great location, clean and comfortable

Cons:

Wifi had a lot to be desired and the soundproofing was sub par. It sounds like the room above us decided to do a furniture rearrangement as we heard everything. At 5 minutes to 10pm I was ready to knock on their door at 10pm but thankfully they stopped the noise
