The continental breakfast could have added proteins and more options than just finger pastries and cereal. Also they only had one ice machine in the whole place which didn’t work. The room and staff were nice and would stay agin but would improve the facility more if they have better breakfast choices and more ice machines available.

The web site said they had 3 pools, I counted 2 and a small kiddie pool. The pool close to Lake Erie needed to be cleaned and swept out, also the water was low, it really needed filled up. The hot tub was more of a swimming pool, it was constantly occupied by people who just wanted to use it as a warm pool without the jets on, usually 10 people at a time. So if you wanted to use it, you had to WAIT until the group decided to leave. The room and hallway had a strange smell to it. The tub filled up when you took a shower, so the next person had to wait until the tub emptied. It seemed to me like a retirement home or if you didn’t have children this wasn’t the place for you. The mattress was a little on the springy side, and not firm at all. The pillows were like pan cakes, could have used more than 2. All in all if you didn’t have a boat or were not related to anyone else staying there, I would NOT recommend this place for a weekend getaway. No restaurant on the grounds either. Only one place to eat near by. Much needed attention needs to be done to this place.

The staff and grounds were great, we just wish they would enforce some of the rules a little more. We were unfortunately there with a couple of obnoxious families. One pool is meant to be the family pool and the other is supposed to be a quiet pool with no splashing. Instead, I had to save a 3-4 year old from drowning. The adult male with him was too drunk to care. Spent the rest of time with one family who knew they were rude and joked about it.

They Are Trying
A little pricey for what we got. I think that they want to give the impression of an upscale resort but the rooms show the age and there is much "going through the motions." Still they had many of the good amenities and it was not the price of a real upscale resort.

This is a hidden gem for sure! The hotel is dated, and doesn’t have all the amenities as a big chain, however it is very clean, staff is beyond friendly, and you cannot beat the location! 3 outdoor pools, a hot tub, play ground, & volleyball. We will definitely be returning!
