Love the upgrades to the first floor. Glad to see lunch service now and the new bar with views of the lake is extra nice. I noticed our bathroom shower needed some extra care. The grout was showing its age. Overall we loved our stay. The location is perfect and we would definitely stay there again.

It was nice, but i could of upgraded my room for $20.00 extra and the front desk didn't offer it to me. Our dinner was good but sat outside no lights on the tables. Also if you give cloth napkins put table cloths on the tables. Need more help also in the restaurant. Only open for dinner have more help. Did get free dessert for our Anniversary but the waitress didnt really know what was going on. Said she was new but no excuse.
