This place was nice we had a big room and it was clean the only thing that was disappointing was the shower pressure. I wish it was a little more stronger then what it was other then that the hotel was nice and the fitness room was clean but they didn’t have the pool area as well. Maybe the should make it into a game area with pool tables or darts.

The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. Also, it was surprisingly quiet for a room directly across from the elevator. The hotel must have good soundproofing too because I cannot recall hearing a sound outdoors except coyotes howling as they passed through before daybreak, which is not uncommon for Lake County.
