    Location was what we needed. Breakfast buffet was not ready when we arrived. Omelet station was not prepared. Disorganized placement of items. Missing labels ( example milk carafe). Cot was not made up at cleaning time. Desk person was rude.

    Did not have breakfast at the hotel. Buffet looked like breakfast many hotels included in price of hotel, Although I was in an economy room the beds were terrible. Felt like hospital room beds. The outdoor pool was very dirty. Mef

    Everything we needed to do was within an easy walk at the resort. Breakfast was perfect, the crew was kind and so helpful with the exact way I wanted my eggs. I loved the room setting. If I could not make it outside it was perfect to just sit and look out at the beautiful beach. It also gave me faith in family again. There were so many families with small children that were being cared for by Mom and Dad. And young people said Hello and inquired how our day was going. I love that!the Gazebo/lounge was perfect, the staff seemed to look out for our comfort. We could have a few drinks and walk to our rooms with ease. And the scenery was so beautiful. Sunsets were spectacular this week. And I forgot, the cleaning person, she made sure we had the softest towels. Some places have bleached out stiff pieces of fabric. The bathroom was very clean. and the sheets were not scratchy. Lately we have found some places have less than ideal bedding. The toilet tissue holder was a joke. And the shower curtain was a wee bit short. And we could hear the whole conversation of the people in the next room. The young male child was very loud. Till 10:30pm. Turned the AC up in volume.

    The beach and beach bar on the lake were fine. The main resort was nice and the indoor pool and sauna was nice. The staff on the beach and beach bar were excellent. Facilities on the main location was fine. The picture of the rooms on-line did not match the rooms we got across the street.

    Did not eat here

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location and availability of food Didn’t have coffee available And the free water jugs you couldn’t get you until 11 o’clock in the morning When I asked the front desk, they told me to go to Dunkin’ Donuts, which is a mile away for coffee or go to the restaurant which is $15 as soon as you walk in…seriously

    Great location. Beautiful property. WiFi was so weak I was unable to work.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I wish room was closer to beach

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    the cigarette and musty smell in the INN part of hotel was nasty. very dated rooms and standard to more of a lower end stay rather then fee they charge. You are definitely paying for lake stay

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Enjoyed our stay

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    TOTALLY unacceptable!! I will never stay at this property again unless I'm given a room in a lakefront building. Also, barely any products for self-care, a small TV, NO breakfast included. The ONLY positive aspect of this property is the dock restaurant/bar.
