Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was a good size, clean and comfortable. The service and the breakfast were good and the “lake” (pond) is pretty. The hotel itself is a little weird though. It seems like maybe it was a couple of buildings at one time that were later connected. The floor we were on had corridors that were tiny and twisted, easy to get lost. It was hard to move the luggage cart through the tiny twisted corridors and then you come to a point where you have to go down three or four steps forcing you you to abandon the cart and carry your luggage the rest of the way. So weird! Maybe the tower part of the hotel is more normal. I wouldn’t recommend anyone stay in this part of the hotel who can’t carry their luggage up and down a few steps.

We stayed at this property and loved it, this year not so much, our room was tired and in the back wing of the hotel. During our last stay the staff made us feel very welcome and were very helpful, this year they were very unfriendly and miserable it really made us feel very unwelcome, apart from a super friendly waiter in the restaurant one evening who was very helpful and charming. Overall the hotel has lost its sparkle and we will not be returning or would we recommend it to others. Very disappointing

The friendliness and staff were excellent, especially the dining room staff at the Lakeside Bar & Grill; very tasty meals at a reasonable price. The rooms were fine but the layout is due for a renovation. Small bathroom with not much counter space, but clean and convenient for buses to the area and waterfront.

Overall, the whole hotel was decent when it comes to cleanliness, the view from our room of the lake was absolutely spectacular. However, my concerns were the quality of food wasn’t great and I had to ask for clean towels for my room and someone had left them on the floor in front of my door, keep in mind there was not a do not disturb sign on the door.
