Pet friendly, staff is friendly. The hotel is average however the outside by the marina and the views from the walk way are stunning. Quiet. Be aware there is no food options on Sundays except the market which is also limited. Very peaceful.

Property a little dated but clean, nice staff and view of the Lake. The Harbor Restaurant next door had great views but the food was not great and our server obviously would have rathered be somewhere else.

I had forgotten to tell them about our dog when I made the reservation online. So they didn’t know about him when we checked in! Informed us that all dog friendly rooms were booked. They were very accommodating and gave us a room anyway. Very thankful!
