The place needs more attention to detail to make for a better stay. The place was not very clean, close to the commuter train, and no regular TV plus there was a sewage smell that we couldn't get rid of with candles, open windows, and fans. The manager was very responsive and it is steps to the lake and not far from downtown and restaurants. ##### Peter B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ---
