My room was very nice and I appreciated the comfortable bed. In fact, I would love to know what brand of mattress they have. It was wonderful!! The only thing i was confused about was the upcharge hold on my credit card. It may have been explained in the paperwork but if the person checking me in had said something about it I wouldn’t have been concerned.

Great hotel! Close to the lake, free breakfast, clean rooms, pool had a nice view of the lake while you swam and was clean. Breakfast was good but the warm items were very egg heavy. Three egg options, one meat (ham) and one potato (hashbrown paties). Also had a waffle maker, some pastry items, juice, coffee, and few other small offerings. I would definitely stay again.
