Great hotel in a perfect location

Loved this hotel for the spacious room and separate sleeping area. The bed was great but could have used some softer pillows. Our only real complaint, which sounds weird, was the color selections in the rooms made everything look dingy, dated and dark. The bedroom is orange which doesn’t reflect well on any skin tone. The ceiling in the sitting area is orange and the walls are dull which makes for a dated look. The bathroom is small and functional, though the lighting is poor. The bathroom walls are brown which doesn’t help brighten the space and again made for a dingy look even though it was very clean.

First time at The Boulevard but will not be our last. Everything was excellent about the room and hotel. Staff was great. Short walk to downtown shops and restaurants. The free parking was nice, as so many hotels are charging for parking these days. We will definitely be back over the summer.

Picturesque

The ambiance was amazing! The room was very nicely laid out. Mattress was pretty firm which doesn't work for us but the room was clean. Location to the lake was great!
