Was there for a quick get away with my wife for our anniversary. The balcony overlooking the lake was perfect. Staff was very friendly and the place was clean. Just what we needed for a relaxing night. Will for sure stay again.

There were lights from the entry pointing directly at the window. It was so bright the blackout drapes could not keep the light out.

Pros:

My Husband tried to use the jacuzzi tube and when he turned on the jets a ton of black stuff spewed out. When I told the front desk they offered me cleaner to clean it myself. The room was full of ants. All of the bread on the breakfast bar was stale

Pros:

Overpriced for the looks and state of the hotel. I was disappointed with the old decor and outdated furniture of this hotel. I really doubt this is a 4-star hotel. The only thing is it has a great view of the lake from the balcony, if you get a lakeview room. Bottomline: do not expect a fancy 4-star hotel, think of it as a clean Quality inn just on the lake.

The hotel was the best one I've been in this year. For me quiet is a must. I never heard my neighbors. The bed was comfy as I have a bad back. The view of the lake.. wow what a way to wake up. Sunset's beautiful. Staff were all very nice. A++
