We chose this hotel because it was described as having magnificent views over the lake and upon booking we were offered a 'lake view' room and paid extra for it. We struggled to see the lake from our window and when we complained they said they had had complaints in the past and now they offered 'lake facing' rooms - very misleading. The room itself was small and in need of refurbishment (only the bathroom was modern) but at least the bed was comfortable. We had had a long day and ate in the hotel's restaurant, where the food and service was very good. Overall we would not stay there again as we felt the description was a definite misrepresentation.
