8/10 Very good

Beautiful hotel in front of the lake. They kindly provided information via email even before our stay and promptly replied to our questions about parking. The room was well-appointed, and the view was wonderful. Some staff at the spa and restaurant weren't friendly, and the room wasn't cleaned on the 2nd day, so I'd give it 4 stars.
