The location is ideal close enough but far enough to the activity. Rooms are well appointed, clean and are a small efficiency. Parking is easy. Property is beautiful. Staff is friendly and helpful. Close to numerous restaurants and a quick walk to the lake. Only thing missing was a second mirror outside of the bathroom, so that one can put make up on or do hair while other is showering.
