Unstaffed at night. Had tornado warning and guests were left to improvise safety protocol with no electricity. Very chaotic, some guests hid in bathroom on main floor because of smaller windows, we stayed in room in dark. Front desk unapologetic about the situation. Would not stay again.

The property is very old and in disrepair. There was garbage on the floor of the hallway. The balconies feel unsafe as if they are rotting. The door to my balcony did not lock. The lake smells very bad, which is no one’s fault but you might not want to sit on that sketchy balcony. The worst part is the service because you need to use a phone on the wall to call for someone to come to the lobby. Oat check in and check out I was waiting for more than half an hour with no one answering. I finally just left. Not the person on duty’s fault necessarily but poor policy and worth considering if you are traveling alone or are in a rush.

Views from the room and balcony were awesome. Room was clean. We had a quiet and restful night. Seems to be quite a few maintenance items that need to be addressed
