The lake view & activities were cool. The pool was a bit outdated but the kids loved it. You can not check in before 3, we got here early but the staff (guy) was friendly. Great location & walkable to a few great restaurants.

It was off season which may account for it being so quiet. The use of bikes, canoe, kayaks complete with life jackets all at your fingertips at no cost when ever you needed it, was great. And you are right on the lake!!! Manager and staff were very friendly.

Definitely a 3 star property. The location was great and the management friendly and helpful. The hotel rooms have no privacy, the beds were too high, the floors had no rugs. Definitely a compromise for the price.
