The property is overlooking the lake and is the biggest plus. The staff was courteous and proposed another room at check in just as an option. Overall the property needs a serious upgrade.

I often book the Pepper Tree when I ski at Palisades. It is clean and conveniently located. Walls are a little thin, so sometimes you can hear your neighbor if they are being loud, but generally most people are just there to sleep :)

Nice view of the lake from the 5th floor, helpful clerk at check in, which was closed most of the time otherwise. Great price for comfortable stay.
