The views from the Lakeview rooms were great! I was a bit disappointed about the advertised outdoor seating area on the docks not being there. There was just a large empty dock. Used to be a patio out there. Website says it’s still there. The restaurant still not open due to fire. Was supposed to be open by the time we arrived and wasn’t. The pillows were lumpy and gave me neck pain. The renovations in the room are nice. Liked how it had a microwave and fridge. Probably wouldn’t stay here again for the price.

The mattresses were terrible it is advertised as "full service" but there is no restaurant and they didn't even have a breakfast buffet setup. For the cost of a night stay they could ata minimum have muffins, fruit, yogurt and juice setup. Extremely disappointed 😞.

We had a lakeside view once you saw passed the giant spiders and cobwebs on the outside of the windows the view was spectacular. The guests beside and above us were loud with a large group of teenagers parents drank while the kids made an absurd amount of noise in and out of the room till early in the morning. The manager said they understood and would switch our room and when we went for the roomkey they had no room available The top floor Restaurant is under renovation and we werent informed until we checked in.

Excellent comfortable rooms. Not a single amenity however. No restaurant or bar, which I did not notice being mentioned on the Expedia site. At |- $250/night, that was completely unacceptable. Staff were nice and everything spicy and span clean.

Beautiful views and very good location. Rooms are great- every one has a great view. Just need to reestablish the restaurant & bar on the top observation floor and perhaps a snack/coffee shop on the main floor.
