Location, location, location! The hotel is a bit tired and worn, but very clean and the staff are wonderful! It was built in 1899 and has unlevel floors, noise, and is a bit dated. No fridge in the room, but we asked and they delivered a portable fridge in 3 min! Wow! But the best part was the view of the lake on the 4th floor and we were steps from the shopping district. One nice perk was a man brushed off the cars after a 9" snow. We would stay again just for the location!
