My experience was getting carbon monoxide poisoning and it was scary and dangerous.
Pros:

Over look to the lake was nice

Cons:

Me and my husband check in later in the night. When we were ready to head to bed. My head started hurting really bad! I thought it was elevation. Turns out around 10:30 the carbon monoxide alarm started going off. Ended up going to the hospital and had elevated levels of carbon monoxide. I believe it was due to the heater in the room.

Very cute spot at an unbeatable location
Pros:

The location is hard to beat

Cons:

The mattress is some version of memory foam, which is great on paper, but a bit jarring if you're not accustomed to that type of mattress.

Comfortable
Pros:

The staff was friendly. The facility was clean and comfortable.

The 4 o’clock check in is unreasonable. Your day is half over before you can get in the room.
