“In my opinion, this is a great value for money, and I think it distinguishes itself with an unusual extra, the enhanced hospitality trays. I noted its location on a quiet residential street only a short walk from the town and lake; plus, there's ample public parking. The views of both the mountains and lake from the site, in my view, only add to its appeal.”

fresh towel restaurant recommendation good location narrow street small room heating issue

The location was good. I found fresh towels in the Double Room. The host provided restaurant recommendations , which was very useful.

I found the parking on the narrow street difficult. The room was very small, it only had one chair. The heating did not work on the first night , and I had to ask for it to be turned on.
