There isn’t much good to say about this property. Tons of road noise. Breakfast was a joke (when it was even open, one day it wasn’t) Sometimes there was adequate coffee supplies. They didn’t have a room for us though our Expedia reservation was made several weeks in advance. The host did find a room for us, the “luxury suite” which was in the very old part of the building and smelled horribly like ethnic food. We finally got used to the smell then had to change rooms the next day since we weren’t paying for luxury, lol!! Sheets felt like paper and we had to ask for toilet paper twice, once for each room (family of 4 and given half a roll in both rooms). The lake view was very pretty, but the beach was nonexistent and the road noise was terrible. Fortunately it was pretty cheap and clean so we survived. We did learn never to let my sister in law choose the hotel again!!

The first unit had no bath towels and the refrigerator had old food. The room needed repairs. The manager was appalled and immediately changed the room. He told us that the building was in the midst of renovations. The new room was clean. The bathroom was newly renovated. The beds were comfortable. There was no desk, chair, closet or place to hang clothes other than a hook on the door. For the price the room was adequate.

View wise it's a fantastic location. Unfortunately the road it's on is super busy and crossing to get to lake feels dangerous. They are clearly in the middle of renovations, we had a newer room, brand new paint and carpets and bluetooth built in to bathroom mirror which was super cool. However, no safety bars in bathroom, nor a shelf in bathroom and floors are super slippery when wet, and no dresser or places to put or hang clothes so I hope they are still a work in progress. But it was a great one night stop, happy to have found the place, I hope it does well!

Initially check in was good, but we booked for a king suite but we got a double bed room, so we had to go back and show the booking again to change it to king suite, but the rep was some how trying to justify and potray that he did a favor by giving us double bed, But i just need what i booked.at last room was changed. Once in the room, the carpets were so dirty, with stains, bathroom was not clean - had human hairs in the shower, toiletries were not of good quality. Floor of the bathroom had stains and was not mopped. Balnket had stains and honest we didnt even use the blanket.overall, i would not book this place again.. This place needs a face lift.

Pros: Good wifi, Comfortable bed Cons: 1) Inaccurate description and images- I booked a room with 2 queen beds. What we got, was a room with 2 double beds and very congested living/walking space. 2) Listing mentions “Lake view”, however its out waters of the lake. You need to cross a fast paced highway without any signs in order to access “private beach” as they have mentioned. 3) Cleanliness- the carpets have many dirty spots and the bathroom was not provided with enough amenities. No place to hang clothes and towels inside. The shower curtain was EXTREMELY dirty, literally a gag reflex every time you go. 4) Ongoing construction- many rooms are not maintained yet. The one beside us had such a loud noise the entire day. A prior notice from the staff would have been better. 5) Value of money for what you receive is not accurate. I wish there was a way for request a refund.

The staff was great and the price reasonable, but this property is in desperate need of a rehab. The room is very small with poor lighting. I could barely turn around in the shower. The carpet is stained and the room smelled like cigarettes. On the other hand the view is beautiful and the staff was very nice. The property has a lot of potential, but needs a major rehab before I'd stay again.
