Staff was very friendly and helpful. The place is in a great location. Right on a lake, which is common in this area, and close to the heart of the town. Our suite had a great picture window that looked right over the little lake out back, very Stephen King.

A good choice for our short stay

The place was fine, but like all other hotels on the area it is way overpriced for what you get.
