Everything was great about my stay here! My friend and I arrived early by an hour, and front desk allowed us to check-in early. The lake view room was very stunning, and having access to the lake was great! Breakfast had takeout containers for guests on the go, staff were friendly. Breakfast had lots of good variety, and loved the tater tot hashbrowns. Overall, all staffs we’ve encountered were pleasant. Will mention how clean this whole place was - we even saw them cleaning the exterior of an emergency exit. Will definitely stay here again when I’m back in the area :)

It’s starting to show its age. The breakfast buffet is well managed. The bar is small, but the food was decent. The arcade is a fun thing to have. It’s not an easy parking lot to maneuver with a pickup truck.
