Cons:

The scheduler was rude, curt, and dishonest that I could not get a better price than he offered, when I went to booking.com the price was over $100 less.

Pros:

Clean room, clean hot tub. Really liked that there were 2, I never had to share a hot tub with anyone!

Cons:

The janitors closet seemed to be right outside my room, so I could hear them outside of it in the morning.

Great place to stay!!
Pros:

Beautiful view of the lake. They made sure we got a room we could walk to with limited walking ability. The breakfast buffet was delicious and so many choices for food. Oh and my Mom loved the Nepresso coffee machine in our room.

Cons:

The shape of the bar of soap. Lol
