Overall the hotel was good. Breakfast selection is very minimal and our room was directly below the office and all we heard from 6am on was people walking above us, very annoying.

The property around the water was gorgeous. However we could smell a gas smell from the entrance to our room and In the room the entire night. Was not a very kid friendly property with anything to do for them. The hot tub closed at 7 which is very early for people waiting their turn to go in. The ice room was a bit sketchy as well. The breakfast consisted of toast, tuna packets and Mac and cheese. Very weird items for breakfast but took what we could take as it was complimentary. All around I would not stay again

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was spacious with almost ample space. The bathroom had a lack of counter space. We had a fireplace in our room. It was enjoyable. However, dry firewood wasn’t available as it was stored on an outside rack. Kindling was under the rain that turned to snow. So, I bought two starter logs to utilize and enjoy the in room fireplace. The breakfast provided was plentiful in a variety of options. Re-stocking was prompt as the hours advanced. I really appreciated the to go lunch options offered as well. Staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and available to assist our needs during our stay. A strip mall along with a grocery store we walkable and it offered a plethora of options nearby as well.
