The room is located on a hillside. It is large in size and has complete facilities such as a large flat-screen TV (the instructions are simple and clear). It is very clean and very comfortable to stay. The room hall faces south and east, facing the lake and mountain views, the sun is shining and the views are amazing. A few minutes' drive to the downtown area, you can also take a walk to the lakeside (it's a steep road back). Highly recommended to stay.
