a decent stay overall

friendly staff good location poor lighting soft pillows
the staff was friendly and helpful. the hotel's location is really good with many restaurant options close by. it was easy to find parking offsite and nearby, also at no cost.
The lighting in my small twin room was very poor. the pillows were also far too soft for my personal liking. There were no alternative pillows available, so i used a blanket for better support.

mixed feelings about the stay

small room street noise
The room was small, i mean really small. it felt more like a closet than a proper room. also, the noise from the street kept me up most of the night. People yelling and cars driving by? not exactly a relaxing stay. we loved the pool. but the view was amazing!

Charmed by my stay

separate sitting area beautiful city view helpful staff
The suite was amazing and offered a separate sitting area from the bedroom. This worked very well as i could stay up later without disturbing my partner. I had beautiful city view and liked the lake view from the sitting room balcony. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful.
I did notice the lighting could have been a bit better for reading in bed, i only seen bedside table lamps.
