Thank you for the response! The hotel looks like the perfect location for us, we'll inquire. At this point we are not looking to rent a car, the public transportation looks too convenient. The lake cruise is high on our list. We would like to venture out and sightsee some, did you take the train to nearby towns/cities? if so any recommendations that are easy day trips?
