The Lakeside Bar & Grill serves very tasty food at reasonable prices, along with a cosy and very friendly atmosphere. There is a bus-top located in the very front of the Hotel - take bus 22 down to the Terminal and transfer to the 29. Excellent so you don't have to take your car. Needs a new room design and bathroom enlargement. Would go back again!

Great location with lots of free parking. View of the lake was beautiful. Our room was clean and spacious. Used both they gym and the pool; both were great and well maintained. We needed extra glasses and towels and the staff was very quick to fill our request. We had dinner in the restaurant and the fish was delicious.

We found parking at the facility was inadequate. Our room was adjacent to the elevator which was very noisy. The staff were excellent. Breakfast had a good variety of food. The room was clean and comfortable.
