This Best Wester was beautiful, It had a majestic fireplace and seating area that overlooked the lake. Our spacious room was a lakeside walk-out, with seating on a lighted patio. The whole hotel was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The staff were hard working and very friendly. A wonderful experience.
