Beautiful view and wonderful staff to boot! We got to town early but had called to ask if we could store our baggage. They went above and beyond to get a room ready for us when we arrived at the hotel at 11:00 am! Thank you to the front desk staff as well as the housekeepers.

Gorgeous and clean hotel! The staff was extra friendly and helpful--offered us the suite at the same price!! The views of the lake are extraordinary. The breakfast was underwhelming, but happy and cozy. Can't beat the location and the comfort!

6/10 Good

Staff was awesome, room was clean. However, the $14 “resort fee” seemed excessive only because you don’t really get amenities. They did have a continental breakfast- but it was lack luster, with a few of the items being “blah”. We only stayed one night, and it was OK, but can’t say it will be at the top of my list next time we stay in the city.

It was an amazing view of the city. I might’ve got the best room in the hotel in my opinion. The front desk guy was nice and it was not crowded what so ever. It felt like an exclusive hotel.
