Disliked: Cleanliness
My white socks were soooo dirty after walking on the room carpet for an hour.
The room smelled musty. I went to the front desk to ask what they could do and they gave me some room spray to use.
Went to the front desk on day 3 asking for room service. No one ever came. When I told the front desk the next day they handed me towels.
Great location right on the lake. Ground floor room had door directly out to private patio and lake walk. Friendly front desk staff with quick check-in and out. Will stay here again.
They include bike rental in your stay that you can check out for a couple hours which was alot of fun
You can walk to the shops across the street and same with dining options . Great place for families, the indoor pool
Nice hotel in an area where you can easily walk to multiple shops and dining experiences. We greatly enjoyed our stay here and hope to be back again when the weather is nice.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Loud refrigerator ac could be loud at times other than that we really didn't have to many complaints
Stayed for the weekend. Enjoyed the decor. Staff was friendly except for the security guard who insisted on shushing our laughing kids in the middle of the day - because halls have to be quiet all the time?
Breakfast was so-so.
Beds were definitely NOT as advertised. Old and most uncomfortable hotel beds ever.
Great location, helpful friendly staff, rooms need updating/refresh, badly worn carpets, excess wear and tear on dressers(drawers wouldn’t stay closed, walls beat up in need of repair, please provide 4 pillows per queen bed:)

People partying all hours of the night even though there's a 10pm quiet policy. Our hotel room was very dirty, dirty sheets, bathroom, shower. The breakfast was wonderful and the staff in the kitchen were very helpful and welcoming! Front desk service was also wonderful! Its location was the reason we booked but the cleanliness of the rooms was awful. We will go somewhere else next time.
