Perfect hotel for myself and 2 kids. We stayed there mid-July. Staff was nice and helpful. Loved having a window that looked out onto the lake. Loved the restaurant patio that allowed you to enjoy the lake when you had the free breakfast and/or enjoyed an evening meal. Location was very close to downtown and other areas. Thank you.
