"The Silver Lake hotel was comfortable and in a great location. The sunset view was incredible but mostly I was impressed by the hard work and desire by the owner and her staff to deliver a quality product. For example, I appreciated the triple sheeting of the bedding, the welcoming attitude and the feeling that whatever I needed for a pleasant stay would and could be provided. Well done, I hope to return."

"There was much to love. The window seat was delightful with a beautiful view. It's a very vintage property, so the wifi is slow and the television has limited channels and no ability to attach your fire stick. The one major disappointment was the breakfast. There were very limited options(e.g., no cereal or fresh fruit). It would have been better to have a sheet to fill out, rather than call in,and more choice. And they no longer have republic of tea for their tea choices. We really did enjoy our stay. It was in a good location with ample parking."

Pool was clean and location was walkable to all sites in the village. The food at the bar is excellent and staff very accommodating. This is our 2nd stay this summer. And we will be back.
