Sessions Retreat & Hotel
very stylish in a cute arty way, yet it is still a basic motel building. Simple accommodations, with fun design upgrades. Great value for the rate.

Hotel Marina Riviera
Hotel has been upgraded and right on the water. Your views are of the lake. You’re just blocks away from the Village, where all the shops and restaurants are and you could walk it.
