fantastic locationhelpful staffexcellent breakfastnoisy bedroombright lightexpensive replacement
The hotel location is just PERFECT. The front desk staff, Elizabeth and Laura, gave EXCELLENT bus instructions. The breakfast was great. I especially enjoyed sitting on the top floor and enjoying the sunset.
The noise at night made sleeping DIFFICULT. The up lights on the fourth floor were excessively bright at night. The cost to replace a lost key card was like a robbery. It left a bad taste, especially after paying a high price for a basic room.

The location across from the lake was acceptable I guess. Baggage storage existed.
The AC was a joke. It was completely switched off. This happened in March, so it was cold. The noise this thing made all night was annoying. I had to get earplugs from the staff.
