Had a quiet lake view room on floor 9. Was nicely appointed and very comfortable. The restaurant was a plus, great food and fast service and breakfast was hot and plentiful. The only con was tight parking for a full size pickup truck, but nothing I’m not used to by now. All in all, we will be back again.
