My kids liked the lake. Breakfast is nothing special. Beds were just OK. Couldn’t open the windows in the room to get fresh air.

The hotel is older but nice. The pillows were uncomfortable. One tissue in the tissue box. The personal were friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was really nice. The attached bar/restaurant was very nice with good food.

Nice view of the lake.
Didn’t like having to drag the luggage up the stairs to the second floor because there is no elevator.

Its a decent hotel. Quiet, mostly clean. Needed to be cleaned behind the bedside table (popcorn and dirty) bedding is older and threadbare in spots. It was comfortable nonetheless. Convenient having a restaurant too. Food there is good, wait staff are friendly and attentive.

Everything was great, especially loved the outdoor fire pit and surrounding area! Staff was very, friendly and helpful! The only negative was that my friend is disabled, so it would've been better if we had been on the first floor, but not your fault, as when I made the reservation, I n3glected to mention it! Next time! I also apologize for forgetting to leave a tip for the housekeeping staff.😒 All in all, it was a great stay!😊
