Everything was really clean and well maintained, the beds were comfortable. The only issue I had was the inroom TV controller wasn't the easiest to navigate, but I didn't really spend a lot of time watching tv. Overall, I would stay here again.

immaculate place well cared for. staff is upbeat, friendly Northwoods vibe. this was a return stay for us. 4 stars on the amenities only because of the weird setup that the bathroom doors feature. same as last year, literally a squeeze to get in and yeah we are just normal size. breakfast bar was solid with a nice selection. we will be back next year !
