Last minute weekend stay

Had a good last minute stay at this hotel! Only complaint would be our room was in the basement under the breakfast room, and it was very loud through out the morning from people walking around and moving chairs upstairs. As well a suggestion would be to have the doors to the hotel locked and only accessible with a key card overnight. We found the doors were open 24/7 so anyone could just walk in the building over night.

My fiancée and I stayed on our way through town and it was a wonderful experience! The hotel is breath taking and the view of the lake is wonderful. Breakfast was filling and always been replenished by wonderful staff, I would definitely recommend. Only thing other reviews mentioned the sound proofing wasn’t the best and I agree we heard the room above us shuffle a bit but it wasn’t enough to bother us at all.
