The site was on a lake so it was quiet & lovely scenery. The drive was longer than I expected and in a state park with a per day fee. The fee was reimbursed, so that was nice. I would recommend this hotel for a quiet stay.

We could hear other people’s voices clearly through the thin walls (normal voice volume). Carpet seems old and stained. When I booked through Expedia, I was told we would have a continental breakfast included, but at the hotel this morning, the only option is a $14.95 buffet breakfast. The hotel staff didn’t offer anything, only said that Expedia got it wrong. That would be an additional $30 for me and my daughter to have a bowl of cereal, a yogurt and a piece of fruit (our typical breakfast). The hotel is very remote from ANY other dining options. Bloomington is quite a drive from here and there seem to be no choices at all that would be closer. The hotel overlooks the lake which is nice but the view is really marred by countless marinas. Will not stay here again.

This property is in need of work. Nothing is vaccumed in common airs, spider webs and dust everywhere. Our bathroom had barely any hot water, very limited water pressure and to top it off, zero internet connection. Just a disappointing experience all the way around.

The facility in itself was good. The staff was very friendly, especially Lynna at the registration desk and the gentleman that worked the breakfast area. The rooms seemed sound proof - couldn't hear any of the neighbors, which was nice. Now for the bad: We went up to the room after checking in and there was pee on the toilet seat, crumbs all over the floor, one of the beds was missing a top sheet AND there was a dirty diaper sticking half way out from under the bed. The room had not been cleaned even though they said it had been. Four people were sent up to "re-clean" the room. The cleaning staff seemed very young - college student age, which is fine as long as the job is done correctly. Didn't seem to be an quality checks on the rooms. To end on a good note, the location was fantastic! Very close to Bloomington but without the city hussle and bussle. It had a very nice beach as well.
