the cigarette and musty smell in the INN part of hotel was nasty. very dated rooms and standard to more of a lower end stay rather then fee they charge. You are definitely paying for lake stay

My boyfriend and I were assigned a very SUB-par room across the street from the main buildings. It was VERY noisy and we could constantly hear people above us. TOTALLY unacceptable!! I will never stay at this property again unless I'm given a room in a lakefront building. Also, barely any products for self-care, a small TV, NO breakfast included. The ONLY positive aspect of this property is the dock restaurant/bar.
