This hotel is almost directly across from a wonderful lake park, with picnic benches, sitting benches facing the lake, nice clean rest rooms, close enough to a couple places to buy food to go and eat at the park while enjoying the surroundings. Nice well-kept up path to enable you to see the lake, ground squirrels, people in their boats out on the lake, the surrounding pine, etc. forest trees, a nice concrete display of children's art placed onto tiles...Easy to reach many places from this hotel, which also has a yummy on property restaurant, element, pool, hot tub, balconies facing the lake with wonderful views. Loved the rescued wood board wall behind the bed; nice lighting. Couch was somewhat sunken when sat on and DEFINITELY A VERY DIFFICULT NEW-FANGLED STYLE SHOWER MECHANISM TO GET IT TO WORK. But other than those 2 issues, everything else about the hotel was wonderful and we fully intend to return.
