This hotel was an unexpected gem, with stunning views and comfortable beds. The staff was incredibly helpful, making my stay a pleasure. However, the shuttle service could use some clarification as it only goes one way, which was a bit inconvenient. Overall, it was a lovely spot near the lake with great amenities for a relaxing getaway.

This hotel is a hidden gem with stunning views and comfortable beds, offering a relaxing stay away from the hustle.

6.6/10

The hotel brought back some retro vibes with its old-school charm, resembling a 1975 motor lodge. While the location near the lake is beautiful and the staff is friendly, the overall experience fell short of my expectations compared to modern hotel chains. The room was clean, but let's just say, I wouldn't choose to stay again. It's decent for those looking for budget-friendly accommodations but not ideal for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is set in a stunning lakeside location, providing beautiful views and a nice atmosphere. Although the rooms are clean and comfortable, they do have an older style and some maintenance issues that can detract from the overall experience. The staff really goes above and beyond to provide excellent service, which is a huge plus. However, it feels more like a motel, and the older decor might not appeal to everyone.

The hotel has a stunning lakeside setting that provides a great view and a peaceful atmosphere, which I truly enjoyed. However, the exterior appearance of the building is a bit shabby, and some of the rooms could definitely use a refresh. Overall, despite some drawbacks, the friendly staff and decent room accommodations made for a pleasant stay.
