10/10 Exceptional

Love it here!

Everyone was so nice and friendly. The room was nice and roomy.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

What I like: location (near by the lake). What I don't like: NO one at the lobby when we arrived at 11pm, NO one pick up the phone either, NO poster or instruction for self check-in (doubt if any), we end up need to book & stay at another hotel. Note: the lobby's door is not locked, messy inside, and it looks like they are moving or will be filing bankruptcy soon.

4/10 Fair

Locks were outdated and almost impossible to unlock, room was very dark although it was very spacious. There was No " lakeview" as advertised. Spiderwebs in both windows.
