decent
Pros:

the waterfront and that our room had a view on the lake

Cons:

no hooks to hang up jackets
only one chair and one night stand for a two person room
Also, found dust on top of the mouldings and light switch covers. The toilet had poor plumbing but at least there was a plunger.

Cutest little box I’ve stayed in
Pros:

Location on the water, water access, boats, pool were all nice! Comfortable bed and cutely appointed. Location was also walkable to downtown.

Cons:

It’s called a hotel but most the units were motel units. There were no blinds just curtains so you either had no privacy and everyone walking by could see in or it was pitch black dark in there. Our queen room was a 10 foot box with no cribs available, had to buy our own at the Walmart 2 hours away.

Pros:

Location was very convenient. Our room was clean. It was a self check in, so I never saw staff. The aircondotioner was too loud to keep on so I opened the window instead. TV did not work, booklet gave instructions it connect to settings but that did not help.

Cons:

The aircondotioner was too loud. The TV did not work.

A beautiful location and comfortable stay. Great value.
Pros:

The location was spectacular. The room was okay, not quite what was shown online. Rooms were clean, comfortable, air conditioning great, nice pool and lake frontage was amazing!

Cons:

Better lighting inside, coffee maker didn't work. Would have been nice to have flowers blooming in the flower boxes on the balconies.

Relaxing and gorgeous stay!
Pros:

We enjoyed the easy access to kayaks, canoes and paddleboards. They had bikes for resident use as well. The cabin had the basic essentials, beds were comfy. Gorgeous view of the bay! The manager was accommodating and prompt regarding a request.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the paddleboards didn't have the fins on them, so maneuvering them was quite difficult on the open water-- seemed to just spin in circles.
The outdoor facilities (particularly around the pool) would be so much more appealing and inviting with a little grounds keeping (weeding).
