The location is probably the best. Steps away to town area where everything is. Street noise is expected, but bearable. Love that there are laundry racks that we could put out in our living area to dry our laundry. Bedrooms are fairly small but living area is big. Toilets seem recently refurbished. Nice and clean! Overall a great stay!

We had a week at The Waterfront. The location was great however traffic and construction noise was an issue. Beautiful views to the lake and Remarkable mountains was something special. Balcony is very small and only big enough for 2 people to stand on. Room itself was above average but it was starting to show its age. Overall not the best place we have stayed but most certainly not the worst.
