"We stayed for 4 nights. Aug 10-15,2026. The staff was very nice and accommodating. They served breakfast everyday. It was definitely microwaved eggs, sausage, pancakes etc and they had make your own waffles, toast,bagels,yogurt,apple,banana, juice coffee milk. It was ok. It had flavor but definitely not like you would get fresh cooked in a restaurant. They never did room cleaning and i had to ask for new towels. That was the only thing i would say that they could work on. (Thats the only reasonrl for 4stars) The rooms seems to have had a fresh facelift. It was clean. The beds were comfortable and fluffly pillows. It was a nice place with a view of the lake and huge property. I would definitely come back."
