Welcoming staff and great property hidden behind a shopping mall and on the lake. Restaurant on the lake was lovely. The only negative was the walls and floors are paper thin. But in their defense, the hotel is aware of it and has a white noise machine on the nightstand that really helped. I would stay here again.
