I love the esthetics of the building and the unique design which is very true to the historic era. I also love the fact that you don’t have to leave the premises as there is a restaurant/bar, spa, laundry room, everything you need right there.

Lovely historic property and front desk staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was nice but a little warm - but we were able to open the window. The cleaning was underwhelming though - no coffee replacement even - and unfortunately, they left our room unlocked after cleaning! No issues - nothing missing - but that was a concern.

The knickerbocker on the Lake is venerably old and is a National historic site. In spite of its age, it very well maintained and has been updated to feel like a more modern hotel that also feels a bit like home. This was our second stay and we were as impressed as we were with the first. Our room had a full kitchenette. while we didn't use it that much it was nice to have. A comfortable bed and good size tv that was easy to navigate made it feel comfortable. While the bathroom was small, it was clean and somewhat updated. The location was perfect for our needs. We could walk to most of the places we wanted to go and with on site parking it was easy to come and go. There is a very nice restaurant attached (The Knick). Serving breakfast lunch and dinner with a friendly bar and reasonable prices. It is close enough to downtown to be convenient, but is in a quiet neighborhood virtually on the lake.

One Night Stay

We stayed in a standard king room. Bed was comfortable and room was quiet. I loved the old architectural features but it may not be for everyone. We ate at their restaurant next door and breakfast was delicious. Will definitely be back.

Quaint apartment style hotel. Overall was pretty clean and nice. Front desk clerk was pleasant but I had to wait several minutes for the desk to be staffed so I could check in. I called the front desk to o ask a question and nobody answered, no voicemail ever picked up. Parking was a bit of a hassle, the key card took several tries for entry, and when I tried to leave the lot it didn’t work. I ran into the front desk for assistance, but they didn’t help. A friendly resident let me use her card to exit. Also, if you are looking for comfortable temperatures, pass this one up. Heat controlled by a manual radiator in the room. It was very warm, and the only relief available was to open a window…it was raining and humid out.
