Great family get away!

We absolutely loved this hotel. Was close to all restaurants, shopping and a quick walk to the lake. Was clean food in the attached restaurant was great, customer service was wonderful. If I had to complain my only issue would be the rooms by the road are loud. So make sure to ask for a water view. We can’t wait to come back!

Such a lovely place to stay. The staff were kind and helpful. Step out the door and there was the choice of walking along the shops or walk around the harbor. Recommend staying here when going to Port Washington! Also, bring your fishing gear and charter a boat for a day of fishing!!

Excellent location, walking distance to resturaunts and shopping. Do not recommend the city side rooms, noisy street traffic and people walking right next to our window throughout the night. Was not easy to change to a different room for the second night.
