They said my card wasn’t working but magically it went through when I opened the app to show it was indeed mine. Also I paid for a lake view room and I got one looking at the bricks of the bullding (721) so I guess I paid extra for nothing.

We had a great time during our stay. The hotel was comfortable, clean, and the staff was graceful under pressure (you had six family reunions and a rock concert going on). It has a great and convenient location.

First got there and was charged $125 service fee that is refundable if room was left correctly when most places it is $50. The hall ways and elevators were trashy and 2 glasses sat in your hallways for 3 days in the floor. There were no towels at the pool the 2 times we went. There is no free breakfast either. You have to pay for it. $23 for the tiny buffet or you can purchase la carte, not worth it. The little Starbucks they have there also wasn't that great either. Caution, there is no air conditioner in the hallways to your room or in the elevators. Be careful on these hot summer days. The view was amazing! Being able to walk across the board walk to dinning and shopping options was wonderful. On Sat. They had local vendors there selling their items too. There is also a paddle boat ride you can pay to use too and that was great. If you plan on staying here, may sure you bring breakfast items or walk across the board walk to the brunch place by the paddle boat ride it was really good.

My boyfriend and i stayed at this hotel for our anniversary and we were so happy with everything about the hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful anytime we needed it. The elevators made you scan your card before each use which really helped my peace of mind of randos wandering the hotel. The thing i liked most was that our hotel room and hallway constantly had a very pleasing floral smell, the attention to the small details really shows.

Front desk personnel were excellent. Room was nice except it had a strong smell of marijuana and cigarette smoke. Bathroom was a little dated but I believe they are renovating the bathrooms in the hotel. Adequate parking and a nice location. Would stay again if I was in the area
