Although it is by the lake, it feels like being by the sea. It is very familiar and feels like a paradise. The room is not big, a bit old, but very clean and tidy. There is a small balcony. The breakfast is good, and there is a guy at the front desk who can speak Chinese.

This is a beautiful hotel. Our room was lovely and the staff was very kind. The restaurant was amazing. For dinner, we had a delicious fish stew that was one of our best meals ever, and the breakfast brunch was also fantastic. The hotel gift shop has exceptional baskets and is very reasonably priced.
