Wow, I am thoroughly impressed! Everything about this hotel was great - I liked it so much I booked a La Quinta in the next city I went to. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean and thoughtfully designed. The lobby is very nice and inviting. There's a fruit basket, ice water, coffee, and hot water for tea/cocoa at all hours of the day, which I very much appreciated.
The hotel is just off the freeway, which is very convenient, and there's a good coffee shop across the street.
My room was comfortable, with a comfortable wing chair, a desk chair, and had a view of the lake. My only suggestion is to add a light to the desk - the one that's built-in is too weak to read by, and all of the other lights are on the other side of the room. I loved the bathroom, which was spacious, well-lit, and had a bathtub.
The breakfast is FANTASTIC. Seriously, so good. They had a little bit of everything and everything I tasted was good.
