Perfect location. Clean and great view. Walkable to all shops and restaurants, and lake cruise which was the highlight of our stay. Only thing is we requested two queen beds, but the other room had 2 twins. Overall I highly recommend this hotel. Manager allowed us to park after checking out which saved us parking fee and time.

Stayed here before as it’s a great place to stay - so central to everything and is self contained which is what we look for - we had to move rooms after 2 days because of an overbooking but they did it all very professionally and we were compensated for it which was very nice of them - you won’t be disappointed if you choose to stay here 👍
