The room was clean, staff was very nice, the pool and hot tub were also very clean. Really enjoyed how close to the Lake and downtown area, like 5 min drive at best, along with several places to eat nearby . Great place to have a quiet getaway.

We loved the charming setting and how most of the rooms were tucked away from the road. The grounds were clean, the grass was well maintained, and the pool/hot tub were very clean and inviting. Would stay again if in the area!

The pool was clean. The Gazabo is a nice, quiet place to relax. Very safe and comfortable place to relax yet still close enough to the city beach to enjoy the sunshine and sand too.

The property is well maintained and has adequate electrical outlets for recharging a variety of devices. The simple continental breakfast was perfectly adequate and the front desk assistant was great to recommend "House of Flavors" for dinner. Looks like a well-established and renown ice cream shop -- which it is -- but serves great food at reasonable prices.

Our room was clean and fresh, the pool was clean and refreshing after a long day. We didn’t take advantage of the grab n go breakfast but it was nice that it was offered. All the of staff we encountered was friendly and professional. We couldn’t hear the guests in the rooms next to us; the air worked so well we got too cold and turned it off. The showers water pressure was great and the water was hot. The beds are firm mattresses so if you like soft; this maybe an issue for you. We prefer firm and slept very well. It’s very easy to get food delivery here as well as you are a short drive to several options. There are several Chanel’s available on the tv; a little something for everyone and free WiFi. We Will definitely book again when we are in the area.
