10/10 Excellent
"Location was perfect, waking up on the water front was a plus. The pool had a 5 ft depth, which was great, as well as a relaxing hot tub. Breakfast delivered to our room per the request placed nightly at the front desk was handy. I could eat while still in my pajamas while watching the ducks and sea gulls on the beach."

"Beautiful view on the lake and direct access to the walkable downtown district within 10 minutes. Didn't use amenities much and no real options for breakfast without paying high prices for a preprocessed sandwich so look to downtown for better options such as the Town Plaza. Room was adequate but wasn't able to get a King so wife and I slept separately, which I thought was odd for the shoulder season."
