Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were quite pricey considering their basic comfort level, but they did offer a beautiful view overlooking Silver Lake with a balcony. The service was a bit of a hit or miss - some staff members were extremely friendly and helpful, while others seemed rude and bothered. The location had its perks being near boat rentals and a swingset, though the lack of swimming access and limited enjoyment for older children was a drawback. Dining options were limited to nearby places, but still convenient. Overall, it was a decent stay with some ups and downs.

The hotel is ideally located right on Silver Lake, offering stunning views of the shore and dunes on the other side of the lake. The staff is extremely attentive and friendly, making sure everything is to your liking. The sandy lakefront park and proximity to water activities add to the charm, although it might not be the best fit for older children seeking a traditional beach experience.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while clean, are a bit pricey for what you get, but the proximity to play sets and a sandy area is a plus. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location offers beautiful views but may not be ideal for older children looking for beach access. The dining experience was lovely, but some staff seemed rude. Overall, a decent option for a family vacation.

The location offers gorgeous views of the shore and dunes across the lake, but it's more like a sandy lakefront park than a traditional beach. Close to local shops and various activities, making it convenient for exploring the area.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, with rooms that offer a beautiful view of Silver Lake and are conveniently located near the play sets and sand. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff always ensuring everything was good. The location is perfect for families, with easy access to extra activities and a sandy lake front park for the kids to enjoy. However, the dining options were limited, and the rude service encountered was a downside to an otherwise fantastic experience.
