We had a group of 11 that had 6 rooms for 4 nights. We all had the lakeview suites that included morning breakfast buffet. Our rooms were updated, clean and spacious with a beautiful view of the lake. Breakfast was delicious and and it was an easy walk into town. There is a hill that you have to climb coming back so on the way back you might want to uber if you are not able to walk up hill. Highly recommend.
