Hands down the nicest and most polite from staff I’ve ever encountered. I wish I knew the young ladies name who checked us in, but she was the sweetest person. Everyone there was very polite and helpful. The place was beautiful. Located right across the street from the lake. Couldn’t have stayed at a nicer place for the money.

The hotel is in an amazing location with beautiful views of the lake, the rooms and all public areas are pristine and clean, & the staff were absolutely amazing. I would not recommend eating at the restaurant, as it's quite overpriced, the menu is quite performative, and the food wasn't that great for the price paid. It is also very small & loud if the patio is not open. That said, it did not deter from how amazing the hotel is. Just find somewhere else to eat during your stay.
