I enjoyed that this was a unique hotel with each room having different decorative styles, extremely clean, large rooms. Having a restaurant on site with excellent food and bar was also a huge plus. The outdoor patio and bar on the lake added a great atmosphere. But the best and I think most important, was that everyone who worked there was genuinely concerned about our family’s comfort and they were extremely friendly, attentive, happy people who enjoy their job. I will definitely be back. It was so nice to be in a place that was not the same cookie cutter hotel with the same decor.

We have book a spa room for the last 4 years. My birthday is in January and always cold. The staff is great. Restaurant on site for dinner and great breakfast bar. It’s a wonderful place visit in the summer but also well worth the off season stay.

The bathroom tile floors seemed like they had seen years of dirt and grime and couldn’t get clean. Towels were a little crusty, maybe from misuse or maybe just old. I know they’re updating the rooms — hopefully they will be better soon!

There was no menu and the options were extremely limited. The room was clean but not anywhere near on par for an establishment that is supposed to be as highly rated. I could have stayed across the street at the Holiday Inn for half the price and have had better accommodations.
