Very nice room. Clean, modern with a comfortable bed. Had a room facing the lake with a good view. Enjoyed complimentary "S'mores" in the evening. Had a very young bartender that didn't know how to mix drinks. I was charged almost $25 just for 2 mixed drinks. Other than that, we really liked the place and enjoyed our stay.

Great experience

The rooms were clean and quiet. Staff was friendly. Pool was good. Breakfast was good. The only “complaint” was that the fitted sheet provided for the pull out bed didn’t fit.. we could have asked for a different one but just chose to make do.. if that’s my only concern.. it was a great stay. We will stay again!

Get Away!!

Had a couple's get away. Room was awesome, very quiet, awesome balcony, a large soaker tub in the room. Very clean lobby and room. Was there Friday until Monday morning. There was a teenage girls hockey team staying as well, the room was still quite. Sunday night we basically had the whole hotel to ourselves. The ones working the front desk went beyond and had offered and prepared breakfast for us. That was so amazing. The service was exceptional!! Also booked a couple's massage at the spa that is in the hotel. They provided exceptional customer service as well. All around great stay.
