"The friendliest hotel staff. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The rooms were clean with a beautiful view of the lake and the city. It’s just outside the business of the city so you get a little peace and quiet, but it’s a quick walk in and right on the walking paths. One of the best stays I’ve had in a while. "
