We stayed here recently with our daughter's ball team for a tournament. Front desk staff are fabulous and very accommodating. Rooms are clean and although it is an older hotel, it has been well maintained and renovated, although there are some areas that do show their age (noisy bathroom fan, sticky sliding door). One of our group mentioned that despite... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our property. I am always glad to get feedback about our property. We do indeed work hard at maintaing our property, and I think our locale, right on the lakeshore, and our landscaping are great. Every room having its own patio or balcony to enjoy the view is a definite bonus. i... More

This hotel is dog friendly and the main floor rooms have sliding back doors that open onto a lush green lawn and lakefront pathway. You have a little patio for sitting (and an ashtray for those that need it). Comfortable beds, great linens, and a nice safe parking lot. I find this hotel to be the quietest most comfortable place... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel. We not only accept pets, we love to see them! The ground floor rooms are very convenient when you bring your four-legged family members, and the view even from the ground level patios isn't too bad! We do allow pets upstairs, if you want to have an even more spectacular... More

Room was clean and well organized. Bathroom was clean but the water pressure in the shower was a bit week (second floor?). Big, new LCD TV and lake view from the balcony compensated insufficient ventilation in the room. I guess, if conditioner is working (we did not try as we did not needed it), it might be enough to compensate... More

Lovely hotel on the lake. We went in the middle of winter and loved it...it must be really something in summer! We had a fantastic water view room (they probably all are!) and even though it was a pet-friendly room, it was lovely.

Our room was perfectly clean, bathroom fixtures updated and beds reasonably comfortable. Minor traffic noise was audible from the adjacent highway, but it did not really bother us.
