We had patio with view of lake. Weeds obstructed nice view. Gates never closed outside so patio was accessible to anyone. Door to patio didn’t close well. No hotel sitting area. Small, smelly ( I bought an air freshener spray) run down rooms. Couldn’t wait to leave.

The Boathouse restaurant on property was fantastic. Rooms were on the smaller side but they were nice. Our view of the river was stunning. Great location and easy parking. The free amenities to other properties was a big plus. Would stay here again.

Front desk staff slow and didn't go out of their way to be friendly or accommodating. Other housekeeping staff and restaurant staff were friendly. Room was okay but bed was hard as a rock. Window looking to the water from room were filthy. All of the windows we saw at the hotel were dirty. It's too bad as the location is great.
