The lakeside view was enjoyable and the fireworks a plus. Very convenient to town and dining options. The staff were friendly but gave incorrect directions. The connection between the two hotels was inconvenient and confusing.

DO NOT STAY. BEWARE

Nothing about this hotel is decent. It’s DIRTY AND RUN DOWN. The best thing about it was the hot tub which barely looked clean. Poorly kept rooms- dark and dingy and dated and the air conditioning is inconsistent then have the audacity to leave an envelope for a tip in the room. I would t recommend anyone to stay here.

The lady that waited on me checking in was trying to be nice but she was really a B. The whole set up was awful. Having to walk into another hotel to get to an elevator to take us to our hotel and our room. The hotel looked run down.This was sad for a Comfort in.

Staff at check-in was great! Surfaces in room were sticky and there was visible dust in the AC unit. Carpets in the room were stained. Room was noisy. Water temperature in shower fluctuated between hot and cold with no adjustment. Staff at checkout was rude.
