Pleasant and quiet stay here. Easy in and easy out with good parking. Restaurant just steps away with views out over the marina and the lake. Tech is a bit dated and the room has no USB ports. Bring chargers if you have gadgets. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Great price for this area. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Small property but right on the lake and a very nice restaurant across the parking lot. No free breakfast but most hotel breakfasts are not that good and they recommended we try a nearby restaurant which I think was called Time Out. It was very good and priced right.

The location is excellent with a walking path by the lake. The staff were all friendly. The carpet in our room appeared to be dirty and probably is where the odd smell was coming from.
