Love the old feel of the Knickerbocker with modern comforts. We were staying for a crazy business weekend so the quiet getaway from the buzz was refreshing!

I had a suite at the Knickerbocker on the Lake. Although it is an older building, it was clean, spacious and in a good location. There is a good restaurant next door. I enjoyed my stay.
