Disappointing
Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed with this hotel. Pros: -staff was friendly and had good communication (they text a day before arrival to notify that the front desk would not be staffed on my arrival date, and emailed detailed instructions for self check-in) -room was clean Cons: -I purposely booked this hotel to have a nice, relaxing view of the lake but instead there were construction materials obstructing the view -there were stains on the headboard and bed frame -the towels and couch were tattered and worn -odd, lumpy pillows -you can hear every noise from neighbors and people in the hall (bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper) Note: because it was off season (December), the restaurant isn’t open

Staff went above and beyond to be helpful. They emailed and called to let me know the rooms were ready for early check in if we wanted. Clean, comfortable room with lake view. My only complaint is that the bed pillows were hard foam and uncomfortable. Will definitely stay there again if in Clear Lake.
