Will not return.

Sour faced, unfriendly, front desk lady. Terrible room. 215. Worst in the hotel I think. Undisclosed construction INSIDE the hotel woke us up. Bad experience. Won’t return.

Overall the property was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive and helpful. The rooms were good-excellent, but slightly dated. No big deal. The grounds and location were excellent with proximity with the lake, shops, dining, etc. Perhaps it was a bit on the expensive side, but there were a lot of amenities to support the higher cost. I selected the property for convenience and my accommodations were more than sufficient. I would stay here again.
