Great hotel with a great view.

Great stay. Loved the view of the lake. The shower was a bit strange as it is an open concept with no door, which means when you take a shower it splashes all over the bathroom. Bed was very comfortable and the hotel staff is very helpful and friendly. I think the cleaning staff doesn’t really clean your balcony, as we found a cigarette butt out there. Other than that, everything else seemed pretty clean. The only thing I would like to see different is a discount voucher for food at the attached restaurant. They give you happy hour prices for the drinks, which we didn’t get a chance to take advantage of.

Beautiful Hotel, Great Location

The hotel is gorgeous and very well maintained for a family owned hotel vs a corporate hotel. So much character. I will say that we didn't enjoy our stay as much as we would have liked but that was no fault of the hotel and the staff. There was a children's basketball tournament in LP the weekend we were there and the hotel was overrun with kids from age 8 - 18. And they ran through the halls and slammed doors at all hours of the night and early in the morning. Make sure that you know exactly what is going on in LP when you book if you are not booking for a specific event that you are attending. I obviously didn't check well enough on the area calendars when I booked our couple's weekend. Other than that, everything was fabulous.

Our stay was incredible. We were met by Kim when we arrived to check in and she was amazing. We upgraded our room, got extremely helpful advice and tips. We loved loved loved the warm chocolate chip cookies and had a great chat after supper sitting by the fire in the lounge. Kim gave us great information about the hotel and its family history, as well as some fun stories about hosting the hockey kids who come to play in town. Dinner in Generations was delicious- the apple cranberry compote was a lovely treat beside the Das Meatloaf and (as someone who can’t have canola or seed oils) the fact that their fryer has beef tallow instead allowed me to have some of their yummy fries! Thanks to Vince for sharing that info! We will be back for sure - maybe in the summer to enjoy the beach out back!

Overall a nice facility, one room we stayed in had a nice modern shower, another room we stayed in on the same price and spec had dated bathroom equipment. Paid a wedding price 4x above normal market, and room was right near staircase, many wedding guests weee using our hallway as dedicated loud cell phone conversation area. Asked staff about moving and Nathaniel said “wedding noise is everywhere, we can’t move you away from it,” however clearly my room was at a congregation area adjacent to lobby. Worst part was that clearly a human sewage line had failed somewhere and was dumping into the open sewer grate between the two EV charger locations in Garage B. Asked Nathaniel about the feces and associated aroma and discomfort, and Nathaniel scoffed, nothing he’d never heard that complaint before. No hospitality training it seems, as he rudely grazed over and said i could try to find charging elsehwere. If the sewer thing didn’t happen i’d be more likely to rate higher even at the crazy wedding price. Also left our dog at home because $300 for nightly pet fee on a $400 room charge that normally rents for $100 was crazy.
