Lake was beautiful and room was clean and well appointed and the staff were friendly, and efficient. When I looked at the property online I was quoted an all in figure for our stay, but when I arrived I was told there would be a $10.00 charge for parking, which was charge that wasn't consistent with what I was quoted. Plus, the in room tv endlessly had a standby popup on the screen that would interfere with the program, or movie we were watching, which was very annoying.

The facility is lovely! Check-in was a breeze, and our suite was stunning! A gorgeous lake view, so quiet and peaceful! The breakfast was delicious [although the dining space a bit small for the size of the hotel]. That said, the lovely lady stocking the breakfast area was great, she was on top of keeping everything stocked and clean and very helpful when situations arose. The rooms are well kept, clean and comfortable!! If a downside - the hallways are out of doors - I suspect that can get cold in the winter months, but it didn't bother us at all. We'll be back - it was a great stay and wonderful location!

Right now I will only discuss the $10 parking fee, which I feel is unnecessary for a hotel/motel in the suburbs. I am sure it was mentioned somewhere on the listing, but frankly if you charged 10 dollars more for a room, with free parking, that would be more transparent. I can’t imagine that many people would go to this inn without a car, given its location

Great location on the lake

We had booked for one night and at the last minute decided to stay an extra night. The staff were great accommodating us in the same room despite being heavily booked. This is a great hotel with comfortable rooms facing the lake.
