The Hotel was nice and clean. However, i did not have any hot water all weekend. There was a false fire alarm pulled. The air conditioning was broken. Also, i was charged 2x for the room. The manager gave me the run around and placed me on hold all day and never returned my call. I had to call the corporate office to start a case. The case takes 48 hours to investigate. Which takes 10 days after the investigation to get a refund.
My stay was amazing. I needed a weekend getaway/staycation, and the hotel and staff exceeded my expectations. The king size room is very spacious, and the lakefront view was breathtaking.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
after 1st night came back at ~ 1:00 pm and room had not been cleaned, no new towels, no bed made; at breakfast there were no bowls for cereal, the hot food appeared to be the exact same choices as the day before and unfortunately tasted like dried leftovers; at the bar asked for a Bloody Mary and was told they do not carry Vodka although it looked like a well stocked bar.
No one was at the desk to check me in. No one would answer the phone when I called several times while at the front desk trying to get someone to check me in. I found an employee at the bar named Rebecca. I told her I was looking for someone to check me in and had been waiting for a long time. She was not helpful and had a horrible attitude. When I mentioned that this happend the last time I stayed at the hotel as well, she told me I should take my $&!^ and go somewhere else. She cussed at me as I walked away back to the front desk to wait for someone to show up. The front desk lady showed up and I was trying to check in when Rebecca came to the front lobby to talk to me inapproriatly some more in front of other guests! The front desk lady had to physically remove "Rebecca" the bartender dragging her into the back room to stop her from yelling at me. I said I wanted to leave because of the embarrasing horrible situation. There were guests in the lobby trying to be helped as well and guests were drinking in the bar wathcing the whole scene. It was aweful. The front desk lady told me I could have a full refund and so I left. Now the hotel is arguing with my third party "Hotels.com" to issure my refund. Unacceptable.

Hotel was super nice and very clean! Smelled so good!
The hotel was clean and the rooms were nice. The bartender at the hotel was awful. She was rude to everyone including us and you could see how she made people uncomfortable.
