We stayed for 3 nights at this property with a large group and reserved two separate rooms. Our stay was “fine” the rooms were generally clean, albeit dated as mentioned in other reviews. This property, is in pretty rough shape. We had torrential rain while we were there and the gutters were all overflowing signaling a drainage problem. This was later confirmed when water came into one of the rooms that we were staying in. The front desk staff quickly dispatched the handyman to fix the ceiling and tried to get us to keep the same room which we refused. Clearly the water problem would not be fixed with a patch on the ceiling, and we did not want to risk getting hurt when the “fix” got wet again. The front desk staff was not apologetic for the situation, in fact they were upset that we asked to switch rooms and had a pretty bad attitude about the whole situation. Overall, if you’re looking for a conveniently located place to lay your head, this place may suffice, but I personally won’t be staying here again.

This property and rooms need maintenance. In our room the tv did not work well, a lightbulb was out over the bathroom vanity, the peephole in the door was stuffed with paper, there was no microwave, and so on. The lake area needed cleaning, raking, removal of some large rocks. The rooms were noisy - kids running in the halls, plumbing from neighboring rooms and voices were easily heard. And guests in another room were feeding the gulls, which was noisy and dirty.

The room was nice with a lovely little balcony that overlooked the lake. Reasonably priced with lots of dining and shopping options within walking distance. The one area needing improvement was the breakfast which was mediocre at best. The eggs were awful! Absolutely no flavor and the pancakes were tough.

DO NOT STAY. BEWARE

Nothing about this hotel is decent. It’s DIRTY AND RUN DOWN. The best thing about it was the hot tub which barely looked clean. Poorly kept rooms- dark and dingy and dated and the air conditioning is inconsistent then have the audacity to leave an envelope for a tip in the room. I would t recommend anyone to stay here.
