Fix the heating issues
It’s a nice hotel except for heating problems throughout the hotel. The rooms get to cold or to hot because the auto temp doesn’t work depending on which room you stay. The hotel area in general is cold. The breakfast area has no heat at all so it’s too cold to enjoy eating. Fix the heating issues and it becomes a good quality hotel with an excellent lakeside location.

Bad & the Good
The room climate control wasn’t working upon arrival 1st nite so I was very cold. The next day the room still wasn’t repaired so they switched me to a room with proper heat. I mean I kinda feel like I should have been discounted on the price for that but nope. I wasn’t in the mood to argue it so I just paid and left after my stay was over. On the bright side the hotel location on the lakeside is beautiful. The rooms are old but clean and the beds are super comfy. The buffet breakfast is actually very good but get there early when the food is nice and fresh.

Lovely setting
Comfortable place and beautiful setting overlooking the lake. The guest lounge was especially nice. Unfortunately, the dining facility is under renovation, so the breakfast buffet was only adequate. It should be completed soon.

A great family experience
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our little get away here- we were able to relax on the beautiful lake back in September and the wonderful hotel offered a great breakfast buffet.
The lady at the front desk was an absolute doll our entire stay

It was a very peaceful place. Unfortunately there were blood stains on the sheets, and no microwave in the room.
Rooms are a bit outdated, staff is great.
