Good but was expecting better for 2nd visit
2nd time staying. Would have been better if got the top floor instead of ground for the lake front view. Since was ground floor facing road and people walking by in front of window, net curtains would be nice for privacy while still seeing the lake.

The staff at the front desk was amazing: helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. (We survived our Sky Diving...if they are reading this).
It was in a great location, walked to restaurants and lake front.
