"Beautiful old-fashioned property by the lake. Friendly staff and comfortable rooms. I did not like the breakfast, comprised in the price of the room. At that price (about 400$ a night) I'd like better coffee and fresh non-processed eggs. There was no omelette, and no soft boiled eggs. The potatoes were dry and the sausage unsavoury. What is the 49$ "property fee" for? To conclude, a beautiful property with friendly staff who need to improve the quality of breakfast."
