We’ve been staying at this property for years and it is our favorite place to stay in the area. Always a super clean facility I felt as though this time even the bathroom and beds have received some upgrades it was a very comfortable stay and didn’t feel like the typical hotel stay.

Staff was amazing, the lady at the front desk is amazing. Nice hotel, AC unit was very strong. My only complaints: the balcony had some kind of water issue and half of it was a large puddle of water. The room is nice, but not a fan of the sink outside the bathroom. Wish they had healthier options for the breakfast, but overall a nice hotel, clean beach, and play area. Nice view as well.

It’s always a nice stay here. The rooms aren’t super fancy but they are clean, and the balconies on the waterfront are nice. The beach is wonderful with lots of chairs and two fire pits. Best of all is the staff. The place is run by nice, helpful people who can speak English, and I can’t say that for a lot of their competitors. This is the best place in town to stay.

This is a really nice hotel! We loved our balcony room overlooking the lake. Didn’t get to spend much time on the beach, but it looked nice. We did enjoy the hot tub and pool, which was actually a pretty good size for an indoor pool. The breakfast was more of a continental breakfast, although they did have Belgian waffles that you could make. No other hot food. The only real negative was the water pressure. I’m pretty sure it’s the worst water pressure I’ve ever seen in a hotel shower. Definitely not a deal breaker though!
