Best Western is nothing if not consistent. Room, bed, pillows, towels, etc. were standard Best Western fare (which is why I prefer Best Western when I travel). The room was large, clean and comfortable. It was right on the lake and I was able to walk on the beach for some much needed exercise after my long drive. The property is within walking distance of many, many local restaurants and shops. The hotel was full of a girl scout convention of sorts and you wouldn't have known unless you visited the pool. The hotel was quiet and relaxing. The breakfast was good and hot with something for everyone. The staff was friendly, attentive and accommodating.

Overall great stay. Nice lakeside view. Such a nice room where the Continental Breakfast is! Only complaint is the refrigerator was turned off when we got there and we didn’t realize it until we came back from being out all day. Had to throw away all our food. When we looked to see if it was unplugged, before realizing it was set to “off,” we noticed A LOT of old trash behind the cabinet where the fridge is. A little off-putting but it is an older hotel. Otherwise, great stay!
