I had a suite at the Knickerbocker on the Lake. Although it is an older building, it was clean, spacious and in a good location. There is a good restaurant next door. I enjoyed my stay.

Suite was clean, roomy andnperfect for our needs. Inhad a dish washer, but no detergent for it and the plates were too big to fit. Washed dishes by hand, had a towel and soap but no sponge or dish rag. But, other thannthat would recommend.
