I spent three nights at the Millennium and found the hotel staff to be friendly and helpful. Parking was adequate, and my ground floor room was stylish, clean, and spacious, with a lovely lake view and a patio. The bathroom amenities were excellent, even including a spare bath. The pool and gym were conveniently nearby and much appreciated. The restaurant served good food along with stunning views of the lake, and with the fine weather, I enjoyed relaxing on the patio, taking in the lake and mountain scenery. The lakeside walkway just outside the patio was a great bonus. My only gripe was the poor TV reception.
