“This hotel gets the essentials right: clean, spacious rooms and a location that puts you minutes from the lake and local restaurants. Complimentary coffee and filtered water are thoughtful touches. I like that bicycles are available for exploring, though light sleepers might want to pack earplugs for late-night noise from nearby.”
