This property feels like one of the last standing resorts from its glory days. While it could definitely use some extra upkeep, it wasn’t a bad place to stay at all. The charm and unique location made it feel more like an experience than just a stay. Staff was limited, especially with dining hours, but there were plenty of great food options nearby to make up for it.

Tub drain backed-up, no shower liner, coffee station's sugar and creamer were ancient (creamer was solid, sugar was all stuck together). Bottom drawer of the dresser was broken. On the good side, nice sized room, clean, very comfortable bed. Bathroom and room cleaniness was good!

Place needs to be updated. Room was big and dreary. A/C ran all night and the water spout for the tub was pulled away from the wall an inch. Lots of carpet everywhere. Beautiful grounds and conveniently located for the area though. For the price I'll most likely not return if other Hotels are available.

The most unappealing setting imaginable. My room looked over the back of a building that seemed to be an operations area, unkept lawn. The whole place was weird.

There was a wild music conference, but we were put in a part of the hotel that was quiet. We felt nervous when we arrived. The room smelled musty, but appeared clean. The couch was very old and needed replacement. Staff was accomodating.

Staff were more than helpful. Especially Deepa. The hotel is in horrible shape. The grounds are totally lacking any work. Weeds Everywhere! We had to change rooms because a toilet leaked everywhere & could not be repaired. I got the feeling this happens a lot. This hotel should not be open. Not until it is refurbished. I know they are working on it but the place smells, the pool is awful. Dead plantings, dry leaves everywhere.

We stayed here about 25 years ago and loved it. This time it is very dated and kind of run down. Holes on the lampshade, peeling paint in the halls. The staff was very friendly though, and the pool is still nice.

The website lies! The place is filthy in the rooms. No housekeeping my entire 3 day stay. Filthy toilet, water leaks, ceiling leaks, JUMPING SPIDERS in the bed in my face & on curtains, no lock to balcony, no restaurant, no breakfast as advertised, parties all over with half naked people till wee hours in the morning smoking weed, pool disgusting!! Was told I would get my stay refunded at checkout and then they only would do 1 day

No hot tub, but still very nice w/ great property

Hotel was very clean and the staff (Joe) was great. We were a little bummed that it was advertised as having a hot tub and a heated pool, but it had no hot tub and a chilly pool. The pool was nice, big, and clean though. You could smell fresh paint and there were a few signs mentioning the renovations, none of which were hindering. The property is gorgeous and huge, lake front and my room hand and outside balcony overlooking the lake. Overall very happy and would recommend.
