The room looked nice at first glance, but there were things that weren't very accommodating for travelers. The lamp between the beds was huge and there wasn't much room to lay anything on it. The credenza in which the TV sat was pretty worthless for a traveler. You really couldn't put anything on it ( maybe some packing cubes) but looked modern. The lighting was dim. My roommate is 89 and she was upset that there was not a grab bar in the shower. She was afraid of falling, so didn't shower. It would have been nice to have had some complementary breakfast. The beds were comfortable and it was a clean and nice looking room. We had a nice view of the lake from the balcony.

The staff was very friendly and kind. As soon as I walked in I was greeted and welcomed with friendly smiles. The lobby was very clean. The room was very clean and spacious. I found it very peaceful. I just got off a 10 night shifts in a row from the hospital and I wanted to go somewhere to relax. I got just that and was able to just enjoy the peace and quiet. Thank you and I will be coming back soon.
