Pippi Petkins

"Reasonable hotel, decent sized rooms, location near mall but in a kind of random office park spot."

"Picturesque lake with storybook houses lining the edge and very nice (even upscale at times) village downtown."

"Actors in full character have zany Xmas events like caroling, Santa’s sleigh ride, Charles Dickens moments, etc they meander through the city too."

"All day breakfast available, 2-4-1 drinks (at least when we came on Sunday evening), great courtyard. Love it."

"New York New York gelato = maple goodness"

"Speedy, location near harbor, tasty big brekkie"
