Room was so cute, clean, and comfortable. The only downside is that the doors, they were terrible to open with the key card and the outside door didn't even open with the card we had to be let in my another guest at the side door coming from the pool. Also the pool and hot tub are not in the building. Its in he next building over, so prepare to leave your building and go to the next one over. Otherwise, everything was clean, and had a romantic aura. Great for couples or solo relaxation

The water view side is fabulous on a sunny day if you have a room on 2nd or 3rd floor. Love the bathtub and shower combo and they actually have a sliding door closet. Need to update their usb ports though and have some on the end tables next to the bed

Fridge was leaking when we arrived. Dead ants on the baseboard. Bed skirt had looks like old food on it, throw pillows had stains. Supposed to be a bar and restaurant that wasn't opened during our stay. The main reason for our stay there. We had business in San Francisco where we could have stayed. We was given drink and food coupons that couldn't be used. Was told we would get a 15% off our room that didn't happen. The view from our room of the lake was very nice. Had to go to the hotel next door for breakfast. Breakfast was good.

Great view

The stay and view was amazing! The only downsides were the bathroom sink leaked a bit whenever I washed my head, one of the lights in the room flickered a bit, and for some reason the bathroom door jammed and I was locked in there for about 3-5 mins. My being looked in the bathroom was hilarious so I didnt think to complain and the view made up for the other issues. The view is breathtaking and this was the first time those other issues happened. I always choose to stay at that hotel any chance I get.
