We had a lake view balcony and it was beautiful watching ships pass through. Even if you don’t have a balcony there are plenty of spots around the building to see the bridge and lake! The rooms are updated, spacious and clean. Continental breakfast had a lot of variety. Staff is very courteous.

I feel like the staff that was working was substandard. The one big fellow was very good at leaning up against the garbage can microwave area, even blocking the garbage for guests. The other fella had on filthy shoes. Maybe the hotel should supply staff with decent shoes.No interaction at all with guests. Staff was not very friendly.
