Lakeview but depends on which room you are offered
New property condition. Its kind expensive for the value you receive. Balcony is large but it offered no seating. We booked the lake view room buy it was the last unit that you almost sees no lake.

Didn't expect it to be a motel, cause there is no such reminders on website. A bit inconvenient.
