The rooms are comfortable and clean. Lakeside views are wonderful, and they have their own balconies/patios. Winter rates are great for a room with a fireplace and a jetted in-room tub.

The room is very nice with a great view from the outdoor balcony. The rooms have jacuzzi’s that are very loud. Our neighbors ran theirs for hours. Not the quiet evening we were looking forward too.

Poor management at location and lack of service
Nice place. Room was clean but bottom of jacuzzi tub looked dirty, we did not use it. We stayed four nights and I asked for room service/cleaning after night two. Didn't happen and complained to night shift manager who said he would handle. Next day came back after a day out and again no cleaning service done. Talked to night shift manager who was appalled and recommended we discuss with dayshift manager which we did when checking out. Complete lack of accountability of dayshift manager and poor handling. Quite annoyed and won't go back. Suggest you consider other places.

Although the jets did not work in the tub, the shampoo conditioner and body wash was out, and there was trash left in the microwave cupboards and refrigerator the front desk staff was great. We made dinner on the deck and even shared our dinner with Brad from the front desk.
