This is our fourth year staying at this property, and it never disappoints. The staff are outstanding—always going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The rooms are clean and comfortably sized, and the location is perfect, with the added bonus of having the beach just steps from the door.

The lakeside view was enjoyable and the fireworks a plus. Very convenient to town and dining options. The staff were friendly but gave incorrect directions. The connection between the two hotels was inconvenient and confusing.

DO NOT STAY. BEWARE

Nothing about this hotel is decent. It’s DIRTY AND RUN DOWN. The best thing about it was the hot tub which barely looked clean. Poorly kept rooms- dark and dingy and dated and the air conditioning is inconsistent then have the audacity to leave an envelope for a tip in the room. I would t recommend anyone to stay here.
