PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Once an average motel, Garden Court has taken itself into a new league with the addition of fabulous contemporary apartments at a reasonable price. On top of that, the existing studios have also been revamped. They slope down, away from the road, so there's no traffic noise; among these, the two-bedroom apartments are the best value, with a cozy living area, kitchen, and bathroom downstairs and two bedrooms and a second toilet upstairs. If you want style and comfort, you won't find much to complain about in the new apartment block. Its bathrooms are simply great -- well lit, spacious, and with combination tub/showers. Fourteen new one-bedroom apartments overlook the lake and are the quietest.
