Everything was great. Amazing front desk service and location. Only issues were we were promised lakeview and didn't get it, bathroom smelled like pee constantly even before we got into the room, and the heat gave off a burning/coffee smell as soon as it turned on. Other than that the hotel was okay, we proved most of the bad reviews wrong.

This hotel was clean in the room. No signs of anything gross in the beds. The staff was super friendly. the decor in the hotel was cute! cons: pool was cloudy, hot tub water was cold and only had one working jet for us. definitely more humid, the rooms did not have a fan for the bathroom. being right by the water the hotel was just a bit humid.

Older hotel that needs rooms updated with new carpet and a deep cleaning, Bathrooms did not have a towel rack and shower head was falling off of the wall as well as no ceiling fan so very hot after shower. Did have lots of hot water and large towels I thought I was booking at a hotel I stayed at prior based on pictures on web site- not the same one- will not stay at again- Staff member that checked us in was very nice!

When booking the room I assumed I was getting a lakefront view from our balcony but instead it was a Lakeview from the side of the hotel I didn't know their was a option and for the price of that room (suite)it totally was not worth it. I mention a strange chemical type smell coming from the room and I was told they just replaced the carpet.
