The property was nice but not really nice but the cost was very affordable. We love the room and the view of the lake staff was great. There is some parts of the hallway and in rooms need to be cleaned up a little like chip paint cracks. But other than that I'm definitely going back again with my family

Liked: Staff & service
Overall we had a good time and made the most of it. It was more of the fact of the “hype” and what you expect in a way for a resort to look like and it seemed more run down than expecting. We had an incident to where we came back to our room and our door was completely opened. As far back as the door could touch the wall. Staff were quick to send a security guard to talk with us and THANKFULLY nothing was taken. They are going to contact us letting us know what they were able to find out They just work there, so no issues with any of that, just the place itself. You could tell what it was back in the day and just sad to see what they let it become. I only right these honest reviews so people don’t spend the money and drive all that way and not get what you expect.

When you arrive, they text you so that anything you need, or any questions you have, you simply text them and it happens. Our room was clean. We had a lake view balcony and it was a beautiful view. The staff is awesome!!! Anytime you text, they respond!! We have already started planning another trip here. Truly had a really good time here. Good job!!!!

We really love coming here, but this last time our room was kind of dirty. we come here a couple times a year, but it seems like this time we didn’t get the same kind of service. The people in the dining room were amazing and breakfast was delicious. I wish we had the opportunity to stay again with a room that is a tad bit cleaner. There was hair on my bed and pillows.

Spring break 2025

The hot tub was broken. The TV was out the whole time we were there exect inthe bars and lounge areas. The pool tables and shuffle board were unavailable do to a private party one of the nights. This resort was more for kids 13 and under or drunk people. Everything we did was away from the resort. They offered to give us a discount in the hotel but said since it was through hotels.com, that they could not. I would stay somewhere else where you could be more accommidated.

Overall my stay was fine, no major complaints. Minor issues: It was still spring, so it appears some of the dining facilities were closed or had limited hours. Obviously the property is rundown and in need of major renovations; I presume those are planned. A third negative is the lack of amenities--no coffee/tea/water in the lobby at all. Even modest hotels generally offer something.

We enjoyed the Fin's arcade, billiard and pizza. Jolly mons water park, and the lunch at JB's boathouse was also wonderful. We went back for the breakfast buffet, but that was disappointing and very expensive. If you are wheelchair bound or have trouble on your feet, this is not the easiest terrain. There are lots of uneven walkways and steps where no ramps. The staff was very accommodating when I reached out for a new room.

While the surrounding area is great, this resort property was very out of date with a lot of deferred maintenance. Cleanliness was less than ideal. The food at breakfast wasn't very good. I don't recommend this property nor would I come back. One positive: the front desk staff was friendly and helpful.
