Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
There were amazing views, close to town and the bed was comfy but that is where it ended. Door had a large gap in it and it was below zero and the heater didn’t work at all. The shower head fell off the wall and the soap dispenser had been thrown off the wall. The tiles at the door were loose. Everything had been fixed in a half hearted manner. The place was very dated and even the appliances and utensils were from the 1990’s. No way this was a 4 star … more like a 2 star

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Building condition was poor, the main ranch door windows had 2-3cm gaps around the whole frame. Sliders doors to balcony could not open and it looked like previous renters had used the side window to access the balcony. and the window hinges were also broken. This resulting window not able to open that well. The appartment is very tired and in need of a refit. would not stay there in the future.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location and the view were wonderful. The bathroom was great. Kitchen needs a bit of tlc. Our dishwasher didn’t work and the supplies of crockery and cultery were pretty minimal. Fresh towels were delivered daily which seemed a little excessive, especially given the cleaning left a bit to be desired.

Payed for a premium room but didn’t receive this as apparently they were sold out. I booked 7 weeks prior and there was a room available when I booked. Didn’t get offered any compensation for this. Instead got a ground floor room. Bedroom window wouldn’t shut so my children were cold all night. Wifi terribly slow. Bathroom towel handle fell off in my hand. Was not even attached. Wooden stool had tried to be fixed using either a paper towel or toilet paper and hadn’t worked. Place was very clean though. Would never stay here again!

Misleading pictures

The apartment did not look like what I booked! It smelled like old kitty litter. It was old and dated. The shower curtain was falling off, the hot plate wasn’t working but they did fix it. The master bedroom had no windows and was like a tomb. It was uncomfortable. Hotels.com should know this. It was nasty. It did have a parking spot and you could see the lake sort of. I expected a nice kitchen as well. I would never return
