View of the lake was excellent from our lake front room. Room was modern and very comfortable. Parking was convenient and included in the room price. The addition of the floating dock lounge area was excellent. Our only complaint was that there was no bar or restaurant in the hotel.

We had a great stay at this hotel. The room was very clean and well-maintained, which made it easy to relax right away. It’s also very dog-friendly, which was a huge bonus for us—our pup felt just as welcome as we did. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating throughout our stay, always ready to help with a smile. Overall, a comfortable and welcoming experience—we would definitely stay here again!
