The room was nice and big and the location was excellent with a nice view of the bay. Watching the sunrise was nice. The hotel is in a convenient location right next to the road, perfect for a road trip.

“Cost-effective stay with stunning lake views.”
"This was the best quality accommodation we stayed in during our two-week trip along the Northwest U.S. coast. The amenities and facilities were thoughtfully designed with a traveler's needs in mind—from the kitchen to the beautiful view from the balcony, everything was perfect. The service staff were excellent. The unforgettable view from the room was truly memorable.

“Stunning hotel!! Can't recommend enough!!”
Oh my goodness what can I say!! Just the most perfect, peaceful, wonderful hotel. We were in a king suite, a beautiful room with a lovely balcony looking over the canal. We sat out there for hours. Couldn't recommend enough! We read some reviews about the noise but we honestly didn't even notice it when in bed - also as a note, the bed was sooooo comfy and massive!!! Just the best night sleep! Thank you so much for a lovely stay and if you are thinking about booking, do! You won't regret it!!

“We enjoyed our stay which was only one night. It would be fine for a longer stay. The July 4th fireworks were a bonus!”
Our room was very good. Large with everything you needed. Nice welcome from lady on desk. Lovely balcony overlooking the water. We stayed on July 4th so enjoyed the firework displays!

Large and well-equipped airy room, with couch and coffee table, with lovely view of the water, and a very clean (covered) balcony to sit outside. Parking space right in front of the door. Large bathroom and excellent shower with great water pressure.

“Above and beyond expectations!”
We were given the friendliest reception from the lady who greeted us, which was a perfect start. The room was spacious, well equipped and stylish. The location is great, with a view of the lake. A huge shout-out to Mike, who drove the backpack I had left behind all the way to SeaTac and then refused any payment for his time, trouble and kindness. This was truly above and beyond, and turned what could have been a disaster, given that all our holiday documents, money and my laptop were in the backpack, into a very positive experience. His attitude was truly outstanding.
