Our room was very damp and only halfway cleaned. The carpet Smelled like mold, and was wet. Some rooms were allegedly remodeled, but ours and our friend’s were not. It was definitely not worth the money. On the bright side, the woman who worked the Free breakfast area was very sweet. But I will not stay there again.

Beautiful lake, great fishing and you can use their pedal boat/canoe/rowing boat. It can get a bit loud in the later afternoon with bar and patio outside plus ATVs but we weren't inside too much. Rooms are updated, nice lake view if you don't expect anything fancy you'll be good

Front desk lady wasn’t super friendly. The room was large and clean. From the outside we were skeptical, but the hotel was nice inside. Pool and hot tub were not working. Food was good in the bar. We did feel like the room cost too much money for what we got.

Best thing about this hotel is the attached restaurant/bar. Very goods drinks and food at a responsible price. Wish the hotel had a better breakfast. You could tell the bagels and english muffins were sitting out a few days as they were rock hard. Hot fresh coffee by 4:30am every day was much appreciated. Staff was very friendly. Rooms were super clean but could use a little cosmetic work.

Windows and screens were broken, shower leaked and everything is very outdated. The beds were rock hard, pillows were flat and the towels were tiny. They didn’t have housekeeping so if you needed anything you had to ask the front desk. Definitely overpriced for what you get

The room was a suite it had two rooms and only one of the rooms had and air conditioner. Abe it was on the second floor. There was no way the air was going to get to the bedroom. It was 90 plus degrees outside that day. We had to sleep on the couch and recliner. They need to add a unit to the bedroom.
