This is an excellent and extremely family friendly hotel, located right on the lake. You can basically park your car and easily walk to everything Canal Park has to offer (restaurants, shops, the US Army Corp of Engineers Information Center and Museum, Aerial Lift Bridge, The DECC, the Vista Cruises etc, etc). The only time we had to get in our vehicle was to go to the Pickwick restaurant, and for a trip up the shore to Gooseberry Falls.
The staff was wonderful, going so far as to keep an eye out for a room opening when we wanted to stay an extra day. They procured a room for us, which was no small feat as it was Labor day weekend.
The rooms were spacious, clean, and quiet. We had no issues with any children running up and down the halls, which is surprising as the hotel was full of families. The pool was warm and clean, and they even had activities for the pre-school set in the evening in the pool area.
At night, from 8 to 10 PM, they had the Smores roast, and in the morning, a delicious hot breakfast.
In a nutshell, we'll be back.
