Outdated. Pretty Blasè.
$10 extra each for microwave and fridge that weren’t in the room.
There was no hot tub, no restaurant (clearly there was both once upon a time)
Room smelled musty upon entering.
The pool is also not heated.
So really if your looking to just spend a night somewhere its a good spot. But not too much to do with family and kids.

The entrance area was filled with weeds and the outside structure was in disrepair. It appeared the outside area was neglected for an extended period of time. The room was musty and not clean, small cobwebs in the corner of the ceiling. Was on the second floor and the balcony was wooden, rotting and appeared unsafe. The staff reported that they were undergoing renovations, but I don’t know if that is feasible for what needs to be done

This hotel has not had a weed pulled in a year. No outside maintenance at all! The outside windows are completely falling apart. They haven’t seen putty or paint in many years. It is shameful. You advertise there is food and there is NOTHING!! I want a refund!! It is awful!

The hotel was really rustic, lake was beautiful for fishing and a little picnic. It’s nice for a little getaway, the location was awesome, it had a ton of good places to eat close by. I am giving 5 stars because of how nice staff were to us, would definitely come back. Don’t believe all the bad reviews, this place is indeed a little older than hotels but it has a nice charm to it.

The hallway smelled very musty like there had been a roof leak and it was festering. The room itself was pretty clean but the bathroom was gross. There was black mold or mildew behind the toilet. Toilet top was dirty. This hotel has seen better days. The miniature golf course is a weedy field.

The dining facility is permanently closed, and so are the other entertainment facilities. This was not posted on the website, therefore, I did not find out until I arrived at the hotel.

The bar is permanently closed, and the hot tub has been removed. The pool is only open for very limited hours that do not work for guests who are only staying one night. There was no breakfast. These are major reasons why we went here and had we known this we would have gone elsewhere.

The property was advertised as having a restaurant and bar. It has neither. I'm sure in the 60's it was state of the art but the charm is gone. For the price the the room was fine though. The Lake was also great for scenery

This hotel is extremely rundown grass growing out of everywhere and trees. Rotted wood on the exterior, etc. holes in the wall, wallpaper peeling off in large chunks.
This hotel needs a serious renovation
