Not bad, on the lake but heat didn't always work, front end staff seemed more inconvenienced that we were there than anything and had to fight with the construction crew to leave as they had blocked both drives to the property

We had a great view of the lake and the bridge. Only 2 ice machines for 4 floors! I could tell it was built fast and cheap. The quality of the construction was very evident. We also had issues with the TV’s not working properly.
