This was our 4th time at Ruttgers. We had a great time! We had a wonderful suite with a patio, jetted tub, kitchen and an upstairs room with a balcony. There were also fireplaces in the unit which would be great for a stay in the fall. We ate lunch on the golfcourse and the food was good. Service was ok there. Later we dined on the deck and listened to live music. Good service. My son loved the swimming beach, and we also used the indoor pool and hotub. The resort has a classic feel, with really everything you need right there.

Asked for a lake view loft which there were empty room that we could see. We got the road view. We look forward to trying one of the new cabins which were not quite ready. Love Bay Lake and the location of this resort.

Fabulous staff. Great food and service! It was very unfortunate that the pool was closed as it was one of the reasons I booked the resort. My teenage son and his friend loved the golf course and range! Beautiful surroundings! For the price, I would have appreciated a daily cleaning of the room, sheets and towels.

This was our first visit to Rutgers. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was really outdated and not what I expected for the price. At around $175 a night it was way over priced. The beds were clean and the set up was nice. The bathroom was tiny and in poor condition. Vents were full of spider webs and wallpaper was peeling off the walls. There were large black ants and spiders in and around the bathroom area. The room spelled moldy but staff said that was just the property and it will be better when they rebuild next year. There are entry doors all around the main property that aren't locked so that felt unsafe at times. The pool was fun and the location was great. We loved all the little shops on the property and they have a lot of family activities and are right on the lake. Overall we had a good trip and would stay again, maybe once they rebuild.
