The room had a very musty smell. The toilet bowl was dirty. It was late when we checked in, so we didn’t bother trying to move. You get what you paid for, was my husbands response.

The property was very dismal and unwelcoming. The housekeeping staff had left a mop and cleaning products along a ledge near our room that we had to pass by each time we left or returned to our room. They were still there the next morning. Beds had only a thin bed spread covering them and no additional blankets. We shared a bed and used the bedspread off of the other bed to keep us warm through the night.The breakfast wasn’t worth considering and the coffee tasted like instant. Very grim indeed.

Room was big. Extra chairs in ours. That was nice. Large pool was great. A little cold on our first swim, but next day the water was warmer. No protein options for breakfast. Cereal, oatmeal, bagels and strong coffee. We enjoyed our stay.

Meh
I won't stay here again. Tub was dirty and leaked, bed broke when my daughter (180 lbs) climbed, not jumped, in. Neighboring rooms were smoking outside and the smell leaked into the rooms. The indoor pool was absolutely cold and dirty. Nothing that the staff could do correct any of the issues because the issues were all because the property isn't upkept properly. Properly needs a couple $100k investment to make it worth the price again.

Lighting was too dim. The lights over the coffee did not work. Took a long time before we had hot water. Carpet definitely needed cleaning. Towels and bedding appeared clean.

Liked it was close to the bridge and the lake. Did not like that they were moving a dirty mattress into a room replacing another mattress… there was bugs in our bathroom and it was really outdated with a tiny tv.

If All You Need is a Bed to Sleep In...
This wasn't the nicest place we've ever stayed, but it was adequate for what we needed. There were a few issues: the TV didn't work (or maybe it was just the remote?), the tub took 15 minutes to drain after a shower (there was no plug, so it should have drained throughout), the fitted sheet was the wrong size and kept popping off the corner. But, it was convenient to restaurants and attractions and had a great breakfast for us.

We have stayed here a number of years. We always stay in the jetted tub suite, and they are spacious and comfortable. Very reasonable rates, and always a friendly staff. Not on the water, but very close to everything. A quick drive to restaurants and sightseeing.

The positives were 3 beds, 2 sinks and clean towels and bedding. When I asked about the bath tub ring, someone came to check and wipe it, but it still looked very stained. We got no sleep due to next room patrons noise. Finally gave up trying to sleep at 2:30 am and left, so didn't get the free breakfast. We didn't shower due to the musty smell and stained gross looking tub. The ceiling by the vanity was falling apart and smelled musty. Our feet were black from the dirty floor. The fridge had crumbs in it, the window sill was dirty and had dead flies on it. The furniture is old, the lamps are rusty, so I wiped the night stands and the cloth turned black.
