Nice hotel and location and very friendly welcoming staff. Two minor things. A listing of TV channels would have been helpful. The sturdy wooden bedframe was a shin knocker until I got used to it. :)

Beautful patio room overlooking the lake. Very clean with stylish deco throughout the hotel. Rooms were so cute! Since it is right next to a lake, bring some mosquito spray if you like spending time on the outdoor patio!
