Thanks to you both. This is exactly the information I was looking for; and Tanya 934, that is the hotel I had pretty much decided on. If needed, driving into town for dinner will be no big deal - but we really aren't that picky.

My only concern was that I kept reading about "bad" areas, "homeless" - etc. Of course, we also read that the hotel buffet was "expensive" ....


We are not safety nuts either - but just wanted to doublecheck with those who would know. And to be honest, I keep hoping that the cottage at Lake Crescent will open up!

thanks again!
