Dirty sheets and zero housekeeping
We requested room service two days in a row because our company was switching people on the job so we needed new towels and sheets. That was ignored and I had to go to the desk and change the sheets myself. Some of the “clean” sheets and pillowcases were still dirty and stained so those needed swapped as well. Unfortunately there aren’t many hotel options in this area otherwise we would have moved.

Staying here multiple weeks, the breakfast get never changing and that gets stale. Top blankets aren’t getting cleaned. Other than that, it’s nice. The view of Chub lake is pretty and relaxing.

Relaxing Stay
Beautiful hotel on lake, large rooms and comfortable bed. Easy parking. Loved our covered lakefront balcony. Very close to Dunes Park. Walked across street for nice dinner at Craft House.

Old property, but very quaint. Large room with a balcony and a view of the lake. Main issue we had was no elevator and they did not have a ground floor room available so we had to carry luggage upstairs. Breakfast were very good and something for everyone. Breakfast hostess was very attentive. Would stay again, but would have to have a ground floor.

I had to ask to move from room with a large construction loud generator running all night 20 feet from room. It vibrated the concrete slab floor and bed. Management should not have those rms in use and arrange for that loss from generator in parking lot. Clerk was good after complaint. Wish I did not waste precious sleep and pool time moving.
Also very minimal breakfast.
