Nice hote

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, complimentary coffee starting @ 6:30
We enjoyed our stay at the Waterfront. It was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the maid staff did a wonderful job. We had lunch at the hotel on one occasion and it was great. Really good home-made soup. We liked that it was in the villages, lots of little boutique types shops and a number of different places to eat. Both places close the the hotel that we ate had great food. We'd go back to this hotel again. You could also get a discount for being an AAA or AARP member.

Very welcoming staff....despite our late night check -in!

Pros: Close restaurants
Cons: No free Internet
Only problem was lack of parking....though we were allowed to park in the "Valet" lot after "circling" a couple of times!

Great place if you are not looking for a friend in staff

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet
Overall, the stay was great. However, the prices change a lot for this hotel. Your best bet is to get a good deal on a travel website rather than through the hotel itself. The hotel charges the highest prices and increases their rates at the last minute and never really offer discounts. Breakfast is not free of charge even if it does seem that way when you arrive in the breakfast area.

Wonderful Hotel

Terrible experience. I checked into the hotel looking forward to a relaxing day and evening from my upgraded balcony room. Upon arrival I was told there was a swarm of bugs. The back-lakeside of the hotel was black and crawling. They told me not to open the balcony door. The sun set and my room was alive with insects. I immediately checked out. For the last month I have been getting the run around from Pam Miller General Manager of the hotel. I was told I would be credited a refund, that never happened.

Family visit

We were disappointed in the hotel as it was listed as luxury upscale hotel. The bedding did not appear to be fresh and we were told that the sheets etc. always looked that way. The windows and balcony were dirty and needed cleaning. I would not recommend this hotel for the price they charge.
