Beautiful location! The hotel is old, but the bed was comfortable. The view from our little porch was outstanding. I would go back for that alone. The food in their dining room is mediocre.

The staff is friendly. Check in is smooth. The hotel's environment is very beautiful, and you can see the beautiful lake and Mountain from the room window. Room space is enough. Dinner is very good. Big parking area.

The dining and food service were excellent. All meals and the wait staff were wonderful and made us feel at home.
-Our room was not cleaned of pet hair on the floors before or during our stay. This concerned us since we mentioned is to the front desk after we checked in and nothing was done about the issue. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay.
