The floors are tile which automatically feel much more clean than carpet. The room was clean and spacious. Location is great and a quiet area. The outdoor pool and lounge area was excellent! A huge yard for the kids to play wiffle ball. We would definitely stay here again!

Nothing fancy but not terrible

It was fine, but expensive for what it is. If you're looking for a place that is no frills and fairly close to downtown Lake Geneva, this is a good option. We will try to find a more cost-effective option in the future.
