What I like: location (near by the lake).
What I don't like: NO one at the lobby when we arrived at 11pm, NO one pick up the phone either, NO poster or instruction for self check-in (doubt if any), we end up need to book & stay at another hotel.
Note: the lobby's door is not locked, messy inside, and it looks like they are moving or will be filing bankruptcy soon.

Locks were outdated and almost impossible to unlock, room was very dark although it was very spacious. There was No " lakeview" as advertised. Spiderwebs in both windows.
