8/10 Very good

The room was clean and comfortable and check in was friendly. I loved the lobby! There's a fireplace and it feels like a cozy ski lodge. The only downside was that it was a bit loud because all the hallways are wood, so sound echoes. The other guests were not too loud, but I could hear people coming and going.

6/10 Good

The standard room with the queen sized bed is VERY small, and does not contain a microwave or mini fridge or any means of storing food. We were a little disappointed to realize that breakfast is not included, you will have to eat out with every single meal. I’ve stayed at Super 8s for much cheaper that included breakfast! The property itself is lovely, the beach area is awesome and the main lobby has a nice fireplace. The hottub needed some maintenance— it foamed up like crazy when I turned the jets on. Overall the stay was nice but not awesome. I wish breakfast was included.

Stayed a few times now. Staff is a bit grumpy and will not go out of their way to help with any needs. But the location and history of the place is hard to stay away.

4/10 Fair

The location was great, it was in front of the lake, very beautiful. The room itself was one that none of us wanted to stay in again. The bed was shaky, and it barely had amenities, such as no microwave. Plus staff was too busy to accommodate the kids Camp, and always had to wait. When we asked new towel, the staff told me come back in another hour, but we were about to go to the hot tub, so we needed them at that moment, plus the front desk was far, so we needed to drive there… if they are so busy with the camp, why don't they hire extra stuff to deal with…

The location is amazing. Our room was facing the lake and conveniently next to the Grove restaurant. Room was basic but clean and the bed was very comfortable. The surrounding area is beautiful and there are a lot of options on your doorstep for activities.
