The beds are like futon matress and about 8 inches off the floor.The property pictures in regards to the bed do not depict the actual beds. We had to wait an hour after check in, because the room was not ready. No where in bathroom to set cosmetics and other toiletries. Hugh lack of hospitality. No signage for the office No one at the desk, more than there is,someonr there. Would not tecommend motel.

Easy to check in late at night, beds are very comfy unlike at some 4-5 star hotels I’ve been at. Breath taking view of the lake as soon as you head to the lobby in the morning. Didn’t try the food but will be sure to next visit.

Staff was amazing. Negatives are amenities: bathroom sink ridiculously small and no other mirror to apply makeup etc., and can’t use toilet seat for space as there’s no lid, no coffeemaker, no guide for TV, 2 drinks at the outdoor bar came to $50 with tip, very nice upscale property. I would expect better

I loved this place! It was a great stay, I am not a fan of boutique hotels, but this was a pleasant surprise. It was spotless, comfortable, great restaurant, nice staff, very dedicated personnel. I hope this place maintains the same vibe and atmosphere for a long time.

Summer Trip

Beds and carpet in the room felt very damp. There was a big brown stain on the comforter that housekeeping had to have seen. The bath towels also had stains. There were hairs in the shower. The room had a strong smell of fish. We ate at the hotel restaurant. We ordered our food around 7:45 and didnt get it until almost 9pm. We only ordered two salads and chicken fingers. Would not recommend staying here. We left a day early and booked a different hotel.
