The hotel has a great location, close to the lake and within walking distance to restaurants and attractions. The room was spacious and comfortable, although the initial view was disappointing. The service was friendly, with a mix of historical charm and modern amenities. Dining options were available at the hotel but not exceptional.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel; the rooms were beautiful and super clean, with convenient Wifi and USB locations. It was within walking distance to great eateries and places to explore. However, the customer service left much to be desired with unfriendly and unaccommodating staff blaming events for poor service.
