Pros:

Love the hot tub was the best part of it.

Cons:

The shower water was not hot, could not get any extra shampoo or conditioner, also could not get extra pillows for the pull out couch. So that was disappointing.

Pros:

Breakfast was decent for being included. View from room and balcony was nice. Room size was nice. Easy check in and out. Friendly staff. Very nice lawn areas and lake side area.

Cons:

Room needed small repairs (cabinet, touch-up paint, bathtub stains, holes and stains in curtain, mirror/closet door) and not the cleanest (white handsoap residue on counter, corners, headboard). Jacuzzi tub did not get warm enough and bubbles did not work.

Bed felt comfortable at first but, both woke up with back pain during the night. Pool for slide was under maintenance I assume, it was empty and had equipment sitting out next to it. No information on when it would open again. Ice bucket in the bathroom seemed odd. Couldn't find it at first and went down to front desk.

Some are minimal problems but, overall when paying high room rate, jacuzzi, cleanliness and repairs needed were a bit disappointing for the room rate.
