At Knickerbocker on the Lake, travelers consistently highlight its historic character, walkable lakeside location, and spacious suite-style rooms with kitchenettes, while many also appreciate generally friendly front-desk staff and the convenient on-site restaurant and spa.
Cleanliness is usually good, though several reviews cite musty odors, a dirty or moldy AC, stained carpets, and an isolated pest report. Rooms are comfortable and often large, but decor can feel dated, bathrooms small, temperature control and older window AC/radiators can be loud, and hallway or street noise and cooking odors occasionally intrude. Service is frequently praised as warm and helpful, yet a number of guests noted slow or unfriendly check-in, housekeeping lapses, and paid parking with limited availability. Expect a charming, walkable historic stay with modern basics, not a glossy new hotel.

Many rooms include kitchenettes, and guests appreciate the attached restaurant (The Knick) and on-site spa/salon. Parking is next door but paid (about $20/night) and can feel limited or cramped; there is no pool.
