Very nice room. Clean, modern with a comfortable bed. Had a room facing the lake with a good view. Enjoyed complimentary "S'mores" in the evening. Had a very young bartender that didn't know how to mix drinks. I was charged almost $25 just for 2 mixed drinks. Other than that, we really liked the place and enjoyed our stay.

Great experience

The rooms were clean and quiet. Staff was friendly. Pool was good. Breakfast was good. The only “complaint” was that the fitted sheet provided for the pull out bed didn’t fit.. we could have asked for a different one but just chose to make do.. if that’s my only concern.. it was a great stay. We will stay again!
