    This is a great place - get a lake view room - just beautiful. Everything was hotel standard clean and new. Staff were great. Surrounding parkland is awesome. Very close to the centre of twon, but just enough out of town to be quiet.

    Love this property! Second time we’ve stayed there. The location is great, right on the water, and beautiful green lawns! The bike rental is one thing I really like. This way you can enjoy the path along the lake.
