Beautful patio room overlooking the lake. Very clean with stylish deco throughout the hotel. Rooms were so cute! Since it is right next to a lake, bring some mosquito spray if you like spending time on the outdoor patio!

Mouse poop on floor. The bed was broken underneath, just barely holding together. TV didn't work. Fortunately, we were not in the room much other than to sleep.
