I did not enjoy my stay. I had to switch rooms because our room had small insects all over it, but they could not determine what it was. Also, we requested clean towels and received a towel with a dirty bandage that was used from a previous.

Great place, great location, amazing lake view. Parking is way too expensive and there is no coffee maker in the room (which is a boomer for me). Besides that the rooms are roomy and very comfortable.

Staff in lobby was friendly but very presumptuous, I had never stayed at the property before; I was dismissed with keys and so I had to ask where to find elevators, asked about my breakfast vouchers, restaurant hours, basically everything. But the answers were correct and courteous. No free WiFi, it costs $14.95 for 24 hours up to 3 devices. Signs everywhere with the cost of taking bath products supplied ($45 for shampoo bottle, for example). The hallways all smell like pot but I can’t really criticize this place because I think this is how every hotel smells anymore. Breakfast (meal and staff) was really good.
