A great night in a comfortable, attractive hotel.
Pros:

Loved the view from our window, loved the location close to the lake, the bed was very comfortable and there wasn't a lot of noise at night, so we slept very well. Also appreciated that the room had a small refrigerator. The lobby of the hotel was beautiful and a very nice place to sit and relax.

Cons:

The bathroom was tiny and having the sink in another part of the room was a bit inconvenient. For one night, however, it was not a problem.

Pros:

We liked the room with the large bed, we liked that there was a fan in the room.

Cons:

We didn't like that we had to have s huge archaic key with us at all times. A smaller key or a room card would have been nice. I wish there had been two chairs in the room and a coffee machine would have been nice.
