the room had a magnificent view of the waterfront. it was very clean and the room service was prompt. the breakfast buffet had a wide variety of choices, and the food was AMAZING!!!
the gym equipment felt quite old. there were limited options for half-board guests in terms of restaurants. the walkway to the neighboring hotel was closed, requiring an outdoor walk.

The hotel's direct access to the mall proved convenient. It helped me avoid the summer heat. The lake view from the room was beautiful, especially at night. I enjoyed the breakfast buffet. It featured many options.
The gym equipment seemed a bit old.
