Great service both at front desk and in the restaurant. The food was fabulous. Room was very clean and the beds for comfortable.
Bernadette, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a pleasant surprise! While the property could stand to use some aesthetic upgrades (eg, the furniture is dated, carpets / lighting fixtures are old, etc), it was otherwise perfect! The location right on the lake with all rooms having a private patio or balcony can’t be beat. The room was very clean, the bed was super comfortable, and the in room hot tub was amazing. Also, the grotto spa at the hotel was great!! We only stayed for 1 night passing through, but wish we had more time to just relax and unwind.
