Nice stay, beautiful building.
Pros:

Was a beautiful hotel overall. The room was very nice and well presented. The room was very clean.

Cons:

Personally I didn’t like this hotel just because of how big it was, I usually prefer something small and more intimate. This hotel offers upto I think 500 rooms maybe more and it just felt like there was rooms everywhere, above you, below you, next to you & across from you. The carpark did not accommodate to the amount of rooms, I had to park very far away from accommodation as no parks were available.

Stunning location, within easy walking distance of attractions, restaurants and shops.
Pros:

Check in was a breeze, the receptionist gave precise instructions and a map on were to park and how to access our room, as the complex is quite big. They were very helpful when we extended our stay. The room was very generous in size, the kitchenette contained everything we needed. The location itself was awesome, within walking distance of the lake, restaurants and attractions.

Cons:

The bathroom itself is quiet small, you could not have more than on person in there at a time. The toilet is located behind the toilet door.
