Booked this property based on its proximity to the main downtown area. Saves the hassle of driving to town every day. Stayed 3 nights but did not spend much time at the hotel- assumed that all or most rooms faced the lake but man was I wrong- they placed us on the 3rd floor (Conference level). Felt like a sub basement because it was at ground level facing a small courtyard at the back of the property. A very well used property with a hefty price tag. You’re paying for location only. Make sure to add the valet parking to your room fee total if you have a car. Otherwise, staff is friendly and helpful and if you’re out enjoying activities, not the worst case.

Rooms and Shower are dated and only good if you are 5’4”. Otherwise, you are bending over. AC cannot keep up with heat that comes in from the room facing east/south. Had to keep curtain closed and still didn’t help even after speaking with maintenance and front desk. Ac units are old. We sweated every night. Location and breakfast were awesome- that was the only thing keeping us there from not checking out early!

Disliked: Amenities
The staff was outstanding and the room was very clean with comfortable mattress. The hotel is very outdated in appearance with low ceilings and lack of natural light. My lake view room was on the 1st floor, but I looked out on tile and only saw the lake on my tippy toes and to the far right. The hotel was still of good value and the prime central location and the people made up for everything else.
