Expensive View.
The location has the best view. The room for what we paid was expensive and very small. Breakfast was included but parking was quite a ways away and was expensive. They did provide a discounted voucher but not by much.

We loved being right on the lake and had a nice balcony to sit on (even in the rain). The breakfast buffet had so many choices and was great and the staff was so attentive and sweet. We were lucky enough to meet the man who's family owned the hotel as we were perusing the pictures of his granfather, etc. He took the time to talk with us and give a little history - very nice and informative!!
