fantastic stay

water view front porch
I found the location superb. the hotel faces the water, and the views are really good. i easily parked the car and walked into town for meals (i had fantastic pasta!), shopping, and shows. i particularly loved the front porch. It provided a wonderful space.
the breakfast time, from 8 to 9 am, was a little early for me. i'm not always a morning person. i would have preferred a slightly later start to better accommodate my sleep schedule.

the location was across from the lake and very close to queen street. i found the room quiet and comfortable. dedicated parking was a nice addition (i really needed it!).
the bedside tables were small, barely big enough for a book. i found an old shaw program from a previous guest in the room. the queen bed was not comfortable (my husband had a stiff neck!).
