Solid Stay by the Lake

convenient accessexcellent viewsoutdated pool
The hotel offers convenient access to the adjacent park. I found it perfect for morning walks. The views of the lake were really excellent. I appreciated the ease of walking to nearby dining spots.
I found the pool to be somewhat outdated. I also noticed that the hot tub had been removed, and the signs indicated this with marker cross-outs.
Dining

Breakfast had a standard selection. The restaurant offers a nice dinner option, but I did not get a chance to try it. The bar entrance is accessible through the lobby.
