A Disappointment….

Room was clearly an older version with a rumpled and unsupportive bed, only one light in the room, and very small. This was in contradiction to the photos and description on the hotels.com website. Very disappointing, no acknowledgement or accommodation from the front desk staff when made aware of our concerns.

Not what I expected but nice

When I booked I asked for the view in the room, they said every trim overlooked the lake, upon check in my room was humid, dated, it had a musty smell and the window faced a wall… they did quickly fixed it and moved me to a much nicer room with no extra charge. The staff was very nice and friendly. I didn’t like that you had to drive to the pool and to the restaurant. The property could use some TLC

Great place and location - common areas a plus

Love the lobby / common spaces. This is one of the "Grand Old Hotels" that we like to stay in when we get the chance. Took my laptop down at night to sit there and work, instead of in the room. Only nit is that our room was small-ish (I believe it was the last one available), and the giant rooftop AC unit outside our window was very noisy. However, we have come to expect such issues in older hotels.

A beautiful historic building with great views of the lake and mountains. The first room I stayed in was worn down, with cracks and wrinkles in the wallpaper and a missing lampshade. However, the second room I stayed in was much nicer.

A beautiful place but a bit out dated

The hotel needs to be updated but the outside is gorgeous! And it was clean in our room. The pillows were very uncomfortable but again the room was clean. Checking in and out was simple. I also want to add it is a Christian based hotel. I didn’t know that when I booked.
