lake views parking facilities comfortable bed breakfast service lacking customer service short staff
The views of the lake were indeed fine. there were great parking facilities. I never had trouble finding a spot. i also found the bed amazingly comfortable. I slept very well.
the breakfast service felt frantic, and the staff looked short. one morning i asked for a cinnamon roll, and i was told, "if it's finished, it's finished".. no alternative was offered. customer service seemed lacking in interactions with other guests, too.
