Loved the location near the airport and on the seaplane lake. Big windows on the back of the restaurant and bar to watch the planes take off and land. Close to downtown - use the hotel’s free shuttle to get you there & back! Also free shuttle service to the airport and train depot.

Beautiful location, clean room and helpful staff. I have to mention the Lakefront drivers were extremely helpful with our luggage and boxes of fish we brought home. They put them immediately in Lakefronts freezer and we're so helpful getting them reloaded up for our airport return.
