This hotel is right on the front beach strip at the lake. We had a peak of the lake and hills out our window over the roof next door. The staff is lovely and the area is remarkably beautiful! Thanks, Kingsgate!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Furniture in the room was very badly positioned. TV was placed in front of only mirror in room. To add to that the TV was put on the cabinet that housed the fridge and crockery . The kettle was put in this crowded space which made it dangerous to make a cup of tea with water from the kettle. The bathroom was so small that you could hardly move around
