Kinda was a spur of the moment stay. Wed stayed one night and came back for a second. Rooms are really comfortable and the breakfast is good. The elevators needed some repair tho and the parking lot is a bit crazy :)

My daughter and I were on a trip out east, and we both have dietary restrictions. The onsite restaurant was able to effortlessly accommodate and the options for breakfast were great! The beds were comfy and we had a beautiful view of the lake. Recommend!

We opted for the lake view and had parking that was pull up right to our door. The complimentary breakfast was amazing. It was nice to have a hot fresh breakfast in a beautiful dining area. I didn’t pack shampoo, conditioner or soap. The last few hotels we’ve stayed at always had the full sized bottles attached to the shower wall. This would be my only complaint is that the bottle provided are so tiny but I would definitely stay again.

One elevator was out of order, and during March break there was usually a long wait for the elevator. The breakfast had a wide choice of foods, but the hot foods were too greasy for our liking. The rooms were in good shape, but need to clean behind the bathroom door, fix dresser drawers that won't shut, and leave instructions on how to adjust the thermostat, which was set at 25 deg. C when we arrived.

The view was lovely, and the staff very friendly. There was only one working elevator, which made it challenging during a very busy March break week as we were on the 8th floor. No towels available in the pool. No TV guide and the remote was very erratic with some buttons doing completely different functions than they were supposed to. Overall, for a budget friendly stay, it was good.
