Enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!
Pros:

Gorgeous view, very comfortable, LOVED the sitting area with the fire pit just off the beach, and breakfast was great too!!!

Cons:

Parking was a little tight, although that wouldn’t have been as noticeable had I brought a car instead of a truck.

Location was good, but rooms could use updating!
Pros:

Location and staff was friendly.

Cons:

Rooms could use updating! Even just a fresh coat of paint. Our shower drain did not drain and would back up when taking a shower.

Areas in the room could use more thorough cleaning!!

Pros:

Comfy bed, pretty view.

Cons:

Biscuit and gravy taste like tea, no bacon. Bathroom in room had hair in picture, hair all over ceiling. Ceiling over shower had mildew/ mold. Dead bugs smeared on ceiling above bed, stained sheets. Unexpected $100 fee upon arrival. Minimal parking. So many rocks swimming in the lake was impossible.

Coffee was decent.
Pros:

Breakfast was standard holiday inn, which is pretty good. I eat the heck out of those egg white omlets, then cover em with sausage gravy. I am a fat guy, so food really matters to me. It is a big part of maintaining my image.

Cons:

They really packed us in. Hotel is showing its age. I went there for the first time many years ago to consumate my marriage to my first wife. To be fair, it looks better than she does now.

Pros:

We brought our dogs on vacation. A Labrador and a husky/australian sheep dog. This hotel was dog friendly, which was what we needed for this vacation. The view was great, breakfast was good, room was nice. The campfire each night was also nice.

Cons:

No complaints here.
