I really loved my stay at Hotel Rousseau Plus. The location is spot on, just a quick stroll to the lakeshore and a 10-minute walk from the train station. The staff were super friendly, always ready to chat and help out. My room was a bit small, but it was nicely decorated and had everything I needed, which I appreciated. On the downside, the hotel doesn't have dining options, and I would've loved a hot meal onsite.
