The whole hotel needs a good cleaning. Hitel and the grounds weren't really up kept with dirty windows and cigarette butts everywhere. Corners of our room and under beds hasn't been vacuumed in a while, and the soap holder in tub was dirty with some kind of soap residue. The water didn't run hot in the sink and WiFi wasn't working in my room. Pool area was cute and relaxing with the waterfall feature and having in site restaurant was great for grabbing beverage.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff were nice , helpful, and pleasant. Older hotel, nice ambiance, beautiful sceneries,. The room was musty and the hotel hasn't been updated in a few decades. Which gives it charm. The sheets are too small for beds but lots of pillows! Hotel grill is overpriced for food. 2 meals and drinks were $60. Coleslaw was rotten along with lettuce on burger. Nice pool area and patio!

While fourwinds itself was a nice place the restaurant left alot to be desired in the way of quality and price. The Wi-Fi was non-existent and there are absolutely no usable outlets in the rooms. Weekend breakfast was 1495 a person and consisted of items that are usually found for free at other hotels. While the bathroom said that it had a continuous vent it became almost intolerable in there while taking a shower. The bed was comfortable and the staff was very pleasant the grounds and hotel could have been better maintained and cleaner.

Scenic View

The view was beautiful and the property offered a lot to do. The rooms were a little outdated but were very clean. Spacious outdoor area with patio, pool, waterfalls and games. Only downside was our room had no hot water so we had to take cold showers.

I loved the property! It was beautiful and the staff were amazing. Only complaint I have is the restaurant. Insanely over priced and I definitely got food poisoning and so did my husband. But otherwise it was a great stay bwe are just avoiding the restaurant when we come back.

Don't go in February. We were aware the Marina was closed, but we're still looking forward to just have a lake view from our room. We were the only people at the entire resort, on Valentine's weekend, it was eerie... Also the room we booked was supposed to be lake front, but we were given a room that faced the empty parking lot. The guy at the desk wouldn't let us switch rooms, despite the place being empty. He wasn't helpful until we began looking for a refund, really don't think he even wanted us there. Glad we didn't die there.

Loved the proximity to the lake, the boat ramp. The restaurant on site was good, food and service was good. Reasonably priced for a resort restaurant. I thought the breakfast offering was very limited, lots of room for improvement. Overall good stay. Would stay again.
