Was shown images of large spacious room with tall windows over looking the lake. Was actually given a basement suite with barely any natural light,. This property is not as advertised. This was for a birthday trip and was promised having champagne delivered to my room and that also never showed. Will stay at other properties, save money, and have a better experience.
