decent stay.

fantastic location short walk great view poor air conditioning limited breakfast mediocre coffee
the location was fantastic! it was just off the lake. the cherry blossoms garden just outside the bar offered great views, I especially loved that. it was also a short walk to a fantastic playground for kids and some water activities.
the air conditionne did not work well. breakfast was average with little choice. it was similar every day, I found this boring. the coffee machine only offered very diluted coffee that was quite mediocre.

The room was worn. There was also some noise disturbance. The soundproofing between rooms seemed insufficient. I could hear conversations next door. This made relaxing difficult, especially at night.
