We stayed in the family suite. The main parts of the hotel were very nice and well maintained. The restaurant and restaurant staff were an asset to this hotel. The only thing that stopped me giving 5 starts was our room. It really needs an update. in its current state, the family suite is a bit dated and not inline with rest of the hotel. We were told the rooms will get updates over the winter months. Once this is done, this is a gem of a hotel! We really enjoyed the boat service infront of the hotel.
