The breakfast buffet included a wide variety of options EVERY morning. On-site parking was available. THIS made getting around very convenient.
The elevator wait times could be long during peak hours though the stairs were ALWAYS an option.

Amazing Lake Views and Friendly Service!
open spacelake viewfriendly staffbasic menu
The wide open space offers magnificent lake views right from the room, I think this is a huge plus! I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The breakfast selection was great (especially all of the fresh fruit!).
The restaurant menu didn't have many options for vegetarians. I thought it was really basic and could use more variety.
Service

From arrival to departure, I felt well-cared for because the team members offered warm welcomes and were always ready to assist. The housekeeping staff kept the room pristine. I really appreciated their attention to detail throughout my stay.
