Dirty washcloth hanging in room when we checked in, floor was absolutely disgusting. Pool house was closed. Staff was absolutely wonderful kind and helpful. Place was pretty empty so to put someone above us was unnecessary, they were so very loud. Updated room was nice, gave a cabin feel. View was spectacular. Mixed feelings on this place. We visit different cities for our anniversary each year.

Unfortunately we didn’t have a good stay. The floor was dirty with sand and the bathroom didn’t have hand towels or a shower curtain. The l hotel was on the beach which gave a great view of the lake.

The Management was great. Looking forward to possibly staying there in the future. They were able to answer all of my questions, assist with what was needed and always friendly. The room was one of the updated beachfront two queen beds room. It was spacious and had a great view. Access to the beach was amazing for the warmer hours of the day. Everything was within walking distance of the hotel so we didn't have to worry about parking downtown.
