Guests have had an overwhelmingly positive experience at this hotel, highlighting its excellent location by the lake with stunning views and comfortable rooms. The on-site hot springs and multiple dining options were also praised, although some mentioned that reservations are necessary due to high demand. The cleanliness of the hotel and the friendliness of the staff received positive feedback. However, a few guests expressed disappointment regarding the breakfast variety and amenities such as cash-only payment at the poolside.
