Categories

Cleanliness
7.6
Mixed reports: many guests noted clean rooms and bathrooms, but several specific complaints (musty/mildewy odor in room 318, insects on arrival, carpets seen as dated, one stay where room was not made) lower the score.
Service
9.9
Consistently praised: multiple mentions of outstanding, friendly and helpful staff (Neveah, Jewel, front desk) and accommodating gestures (room changes, pet welcome bags) justify a very high score.
Location
9.7
Frequently described as excellent or very convenient (close to family, right in the middle of everything, good for lake access), supporting a top-tier location score.
Room Quality
7.4
Mixed: comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms reported, but issues include humidity, musty odors, peeling/wet wood near refrigerator, deteriorating tile and aging bathrooms/carpets.
Amenities
9
Generally positive: good breakfast, parking, pet welcome amenities and cookies noted; some negatives (no EV charging, occasional towel shortages) but overall amenities are well-regarded.
Value for Money
7.9
Mixed perceptions: one clear comment that it felt 'way too expensive' while another review called it a 'good price' — overall slightly below the target due to the price complaint.
Food and Beverage
9.4
Mostly positive mentions of breakfast (adequate/very good/top notch) and complimentary items (cookies), supporting a strong score for F&B.
Overall Experience
8.7
Generally positive overall: excellent staff and location offset some cleanliness, maintenance and value concerns.

Great time spent with the family with everything you need within 1/2 mile proximity, including great views !
Pros:

The atmosphere and decor was amazing. The bathroom was spacious and clean, the beds were comfortable. The television was easy to figure out. They accommodated our doggy with a welcome bag :) they had plenty of space to park, and to walk around outside, and everyone seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs. Breakfast was also top notch.

Cons:

N/a.

Great place to stay but stay out of room 318 until they fix it
Pros:

Excellent staff. Very convenient to get to and right in the middle of everything . Good breakfast, good cookies

Cons:

Our room (#318) was huge so we didn’t complain about how bad it smelled. But it smelled very bad- musty and mildewy. The wood next to the refrigerator was peeling and wet, perhaps the cause of the odor.

We chose to stay on our way to VA and on our way back. So must have been pretty good.
Pros:

The check in staff noticed that our son/family also had a room and changed theirs to one closer to ours without being asked. She just noticed that might be nice! And it certainly was better for us.

Cons:

The tiling between the shower and floor was deteriorating-kind of yucky looking.

Ruhiges Hotel, welches jedoch in die Jahre gekommen ist und einige Neuerungen braucht.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war gut und für amerikanische Verhältnisse in Ordnung und die Leute an der Reception waren freundlich.

Cons:

Mit der Sauberkeit waren wir nicht zufrieden. Das Badezimmer ist alt und renovationsbedürftig. Die Teppiche im Zimmer finden wir nicht mehr zeitgemäss. Das Zimmer wurde nach unserer ersten Nacht nicht gemacht. Kühlschrank passt nicht in das vorgesehene Fach. Zimmersafe funktionierte nicht.
