Great hotel! Close to the lake, free breakfast, clean rooms, pool had a nice view of the lake while you swam and was clean. Breakfast was good but the warm items were very egg heavy. Three egg options, one meat (ham) and one potato (hashbrown paties). Also had a waffle maker, some pastry items, juice, coffee, and few other small offerings. I would definitely stay again.
