obstructed view stained blind
i chose a 'two-bedroom lake view suite two bathrooms' room. it was okay at first glance. the view of the lake was partly blocked by trees so i didn't see much lake. the dishwasher still had food stains inside. i also found a stain on a blind. the tv was also too small for a room of this size.

The apartment was very spacious with amenities for a relaxing stay. The staff were helpful and courteous . The location provided convenient access to nearby attractions. I appreciated the short walk to town from the accommodation (it was quite convenient).
