Stayed 2 nights, Thursday & Saturday. Very nice decor, Lodge. Room clean & comfy. Pool area huge with nice pool, hot tub & kids pool. Friday breakfast had cereal & waffles. Only bread for toast. Manager said light during week but full on Saturday. WELL, Saturday no hot anything or even milk for cereal! Bread was stale. No one at desk. We got stuff & leaving, same manager now at desk. I made comment room great but disappointed in breakfast. He stated he'd just got done yelling at staff. Apologized. Note bar area looked nice but never open for use.

Alarm clock broken, coffee maker broken, 20min plus wait to check in while kids played with everything behind counter. No adults to be found. Probably one of the worst experiences. We stay in hotels 4x's a month at least. Pool area very nice.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Comfortable and charming with sub-par Wi-Fi

Everything was very nice, with overall northwoods/log lodge vibe throughout the exterior and public areas of the hotel. The pool was well maintained, but the sauna control panel was heavily used/abused and difficult to operate. Our main complaint was that Wi-fi is very flaky.
