Nice hotel. Clean ans staff were nice. Breakfast is good. Parking was easy. My only complaint would be the windows. We couldn’t see the lake. Windows are in bad shape but overall would recommend the hotel.

Nice property! Very large and has a beautiful view of the lake. A little outdated but still nice. Door was a little hard to open all the way and tub needs to be cleaned to remove stains( no idea if it’s rust). Breakfast was good with many options.
