Everyone was very friendly. It is a very nice hotel. It has been redone and we had stayed at the lighthouse several times and it had got really bad. It is so nice that someone took the time at a beautiful location to make it a pleasant place to stay. For us the bed comfort although the mattress is great it is very low to the floor and would like a foundation under the mattress. As far as food options it would have been nice if we had been told or if it was on their website that you need to make reservations to eat. I know you are under a learning curve just opening this year and we need to offer more items on the menu. Like some baked potatoes or mashed potatoes some sort of pasta everyone doesn't like seafood. What we had was very good, except the chips not crazy about those. Other than that we had a very good time. Oh and we took a walk and found the courtyard and seen all the things that was available of which no one mentioned or where to get the equipment to play ping pong, or pickleball or whatever else is available and don't know where to get the code to get in the door. So we just sat and watched around one of the fire pits. They are very nice and it won't be great as it gets closer to fall.

The beds are like futon matress and about 8 inches off the floor.The property pictures in regards to the bed do not depict the actual beds. We had to wait an hour after check in, because the room was not ready. No where in bathroom to set cosmetics and other toiletries. Hugh lack of hospitality. No signage for the office No one at the desk, more than there is,someonr there. Would not tecommend motel.

Easy to check in late at night, beds are very comfy unlike at some 4-5 star hotels I’ve been at. Breath taking view of the lake as soon as you head to the lobby in the morning. Didn’t try the food but will be sure to next visit.

Staff was amazing. Negatives are amenities: bathroom sink ridiculously small and no other mirror to apply makeup etc., and can’t use toilet seat for space as there’s no lid, no coffeemaker, no guide for TV, 2 drinks at the outdoor bar came to $50 with tip, very nice upscale property. I would expect better
