Acceptable hotel, some issues noticed

lakefront locationfriendly staffonsite parkingnoisy arealimited viewold towel

The hotel is situated right on the lakefront. This is a great feature. It was convenient to access the onsite parking. The staff were friendly and seemed happy to help with any questions.

Our room was on the first floor with a limited side view. Directly under our room was the bottle bank so it was noisy in the morning. The towels seemed old and thin.
