The view was absolutely amazing — the lake-facing room offered a beautiful sunrise each morning.
The room was very clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Breakfast was a serious concern. Scrambled egg was really bad and it was like a health concern in my view. it was seriously not in eating condition. Overall breakfast was below the average. Also, the entrance of the hotel is not properly marked from the main highway, I'd to take two rounds to find the entrance of the hotel and park. IN the dark, it will be very hard to find. Overall my experience was below the average. Location is good. May be this hotel need better management and far better breakfast menu for the travelors.

This is a nice option in an otherwise remote area. The breakfast station was nice, the lake view was great and the room was spacious and clean. Some of the decor/ amenities in the room were a bit out of date, like not having a USB port in any of the lamps or as an add-on for easy electronic charging. But, there's a gas station next door where I was able to go pick up a cube.

Room was clean and quiet. Beds were comfortable. The shower/toilet really needs to be updated. The shower is so old and there is zero water pressure and toilets are very old and stained. The rates are high for this area so it'd be nice to have some water pressure and clean toilets. Besides that, it's a great location and we would stay here again.

It was a good time but the bathroom fan didn’t work properly and the shampoo and conditioner was not in a place that you could use it in the shower and the lotion was so hard to get out of the tiny little bottle and not enough to use on the entire body none of them enough for 1 person and their were 2 of us! Not worth the price of the room, View was good looking at the Lake staff was accommodating, room was clean,Air conditioner worked.

The breakfast was amazing. The drawback was Ac was not circulating well throughout the room so we couldn’t sleep well. The flow of water from taps was good.

The staff was very nice. The hotel was very quiet and peaceful. A pool and more inviting spa area would be a huge upgrade. Our only issue, not a huge complaint, is that our mattress was very hard.
