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!

Disliked: Amenities
Bed was clean and comfortable. Room was sparse and antiquated. Bathroom was clean but very sparse and not updated.
I would not stay again.
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.
Suite was clean, roomy andnperfect for our needs. Inhad a dish washer, but no detergent for it and the plates were too big to fit. Washed dishes by hand, had a towel and soap but no sponge or dish rag. But, other thannthat would recommend.
