I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which offered clean and basic accommodations as expected. The location was perfect, being very close to the ferry and train station, making it easy to explore the area. The service was friendly, but everything felt a bit basic overall. The breakfast options were adequate, though not extensive, which was a slight downside for me. Overall, it’s a great value for the price, especially given its convenience.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying the peacefulness of the location close to the lake and ferry dock. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, but I wish there had been heating options available as it got a bit chilly. The service was friendly, and I appreciated the convenient amenities provided. On the downside, the dining experience could have been improved with fresh bread at breakfast.
