The hotel was older but the rooms were remodeled. The bathroom was new and extremely clean. The bed was very comfortable. There is a restaurant/bar right behind the property which was really nice.

It's nice that the property is on the lake and you can walk around the marina and looks at the boats. The restaurant at the property has average food and good cocktails. Unfortunately there was a faint urine smell in our room.

Pleasant and quiet stay here. Easy in and easy out with good parking. Restaurant just steps away with views out over the marina and the lake.
Tech is a bit dated and the room has no USB ports. Bring chargers if you have gadgets.
Staff very friendly and helpful.

We had a pleasant stay, wish we had a microwave in our room, and maid service never came once out of the 4 nights we were there. We didnt spend much time at the hotel so didnt mind too much.
