Breakfast had many choices — much appreciated. Also, the location is great—central to much of Windermere. I also appreciated the free beverage in exchange for not changing our linens every day.

Food amd service was excellent, hotel was spotlessly clean. Even though our room was at the front of the hotel there was very little passing noise. Most of the noise was from the family above but was not a bother.
