This hotel is a gem with a prime lakeshore location and still conveniently close to everything. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped, but some could use a balcony for added charm. The very friendly staff make the stay truly delightful, although I wish there was more dining variety besides the tasty Irish soda bread.
