I agree that Torre is a very pleasant resort indeed - possibly the nicest on Garda though Malcesine would give it a close run. The only downside is that it has a less frequent ferry service than many resorts (though this of course could account for its relative quietness!). The 11.15 to the north of the lake is useful and the cross lake vehicle ferry which runs every 35 mins is also good for getting to the western shore. use of these can give you a pleasant round trip visiting Limone and Maderno (though there is little at Maderno. The intersesting town of Salo is also accessible by bus from Maderno (this is a far better place to visit than Gardone Riviera). the bus service is as mentioned unpunctual and occasionally unreliable.
We stayed in the Al Castello which is a very pleasant, if plain, 2* with views of the Castle from the 3rd floor where we were. The food was exceptional though and the service very friendly. Strongly recommended.
For drinks the Roma bar just off the main street is very good value but the couple who run it are retiring later this year so no doubt the prices will increase then.

Good facts about the ferry but would have liked more information on the hotel. Some 2 star hotels can be little gems but everyone is looking for different things and people have different priorities so more information would make it easier to make a personal judgement . It would be a shame to miss out on a good find!
