Отель The Knickerbocker on the Lake

The staff, especially front desk was very helpful and made me feel like I was a valued guest.

Historical Hotel, so you can understand the dated rooms. The literally use keys not fobs for doors. You have to check in either online or on a pad before you go to the desk, which I find silly. The person at the front desk should explain you need the fob the give you for parking to get out of parking lot. We returned our keys and the fob got to the gate with our card and realized we couldn't get out of the lot without it. Again silly. All and all a nice affordable hotel.

We loved the Knickerbocker! The Junior sweet was very nice. Great ambiance, pleasant staff. A couple of things to consider. The box of Kleenix had exactly two sheets in it, C'mon really? No paper towels or napkins in the kitchen. Only one small plate in the cabinet. The kitchen floor needs a good cleaning (sticky) especially under the cabinet overhangs. We were up from Chicago for a wedding. You need to expand the kind of trip choices.

This hotel is definitely more about historic charm than modern comfort. If you enjoy older properties with character and unique architecture, it may be a good fit. The room felt more like a large vintage apartment than a traditional hotel room, which was interesting, and having two bathrooms was a nice bonus. It was also quiet to sleep. That said, the apartment showed its age. It was noticeably dusty, the bathrooms were quite dated, my husband got mysterious glitter on his clothing from a shelf in the room, and the overall design felt inconsistent. There were also a few odd details, including pen marks on the bed sheets. The Jacuzzi tub was located in the corner of the bedroom, which felt a bit awkward, and I had no interest in using it. I was also surprised to find residential-style window air conditioning units rather than a central hotel system. The highlight of the room was the kitchen, which was spacious and well-equipped. I do want to note that the woman who assisted us with check-in and parking was wonderful—friendly, helpful, and accommodating. This review is not a reflection of her service, which was excellent. One thing to keep in mind is that parking is limited, and if the lot is already full when you arrive, you may need to find alternative parking. Overall, if you're specifically looking for historic charm and don't mind a property that feels dated, this hotel may be worth considering. If you're looking for a more modern hotel experience, there are likely better options downtown.
