“The proximity to fast-food restaurants adds a practical touch. I particularly appreciate the rooms with balconies facing the lake; waking up to that view is a real plus. It seems like the kind of place where you can settle in and be left to your own devices, which, for some travelers, is exactly what's needed.”
