Room was very clean and neat. Everything was very comfortable and was good for our stay. The unit does not have individual thermostats and the room writeup indicates to call if there is a temperature issue. We were cold during the day and too warm at night. We never called as we made do for the night.

The room was as pictured; however, the hotel was misleading in their advertisement. The restaurant and bar at the hotel were not only closed, but under renovations. The entire hotel and surrounding area was a ghost town with everything being closed for the offseason. The numbers listed for assistance didn’t even ring and just had a disconnected tone to them. We couldn’t even contact anyone with an issue and our room had issues. The lights were out in our room and the lamps were all the light we had. Our shower didn’t get hot, just lukewarm water. The room was so excessively dry we woke up frequently to drink water and had difficulty sleeping. The bed was quite uncomfortable as well. There was not enough parking for the hotel and we had to create our own spot so we didn’t have to park in an unknown area and be uncertain if our car might be towed due to everything saying “closed for the season.” Overall, it was a terrible experience and it is apparent that the hotel is not maintained during the “off season.” I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you are okay with being uncomfortable, sleeping in such dry conditions your nose is bleeding and your throat struggles to swallow water, and there’s no one to contact for assistance with these issues. I couldn’t even contact anyone to try to get a refund or alternative room for my stay due to the numbers all being disconnected.

Everything was great, except that the concept of receiving a code to enter the hotel is NOT TRANSPARENT ENOUGH at the time of reserving the place. We were waiting outside at night in the cold until someone came out to help. And while we were staying there two more couples came in and endured the same negative experience.

The room was beautiful but the staff’s attitude was not. Did not know there were no refrigerators in the rooms. Getting ice from the restaurant was inconvenient, awkward, and hard. The service area was small and the refrigerator was off and smelled bad. The rooms were upstairs with no information of that beforehand so it was horrible for medical conditions. Michelle’s attitude was horrendous, not sure who she is, but hopefully she isn’t trying to manage people. If Michelle is the owner and treated her guest this way, I can just imagine how she treats her staff. Won’t be staying there ever again.

Our room was a studio size. The bed was super comfortable, and you can tell that they want you to be comfortable with your stay. They had cookies and water, and I think other snacks out for the guests in the hall near the restaurant. We loved this place, the people were friendly at the restaurant and the food was really good. The views of the lake wer awesome as well. Stay here if you want a family friendly vibe.

At first I was nervous I would hear the band in the restaurant but it ended at reasonable time. The cold water and granola bar was a great service after my morning run. A small fridge in the room would have been preferred over the sgared

So so

Parking was fine, check-in was easy - just a code. Room (fish creek) was pretty tiny, although the bathroom was good sized. It would make sense in a bathroom that size to have a vanity rather than a pedestal sink, though. There's no place to put your toiletries. The most interesting thing about the bathroom was the shade on the window, which provided very little privacy. Maybe it was different from the outside looking in, but from the inside looking out, you can see everything going by. I tried to figure out what I might be doing wrong, but there was no other apparent window covering.
The bathroom window covering didn't seem to cover a whole lot.

The room was nice and cozy, and I loved looking out over the water. Check in was good, but there was no check up on me to see if I needed anything. I reached out for something and about 36 hours later received a response. I didn't mind not having a coffee maker in the room because there was one in the hallway. However, the coffee maker in the hallway did not work well. Also, when I plugged in the kettle for tea, it shorted everything out. The hot water in the shower and bathroom sink was luke warm, not hot enough to shower.
