The room smelled like a smoker had occupied it prior, staff was attentive and came and sprayed Odor eliminator which helped. Breakfast was very sparse, limited cups and food selection, waffle maker did not work reliably. Staff tried to assist but the place was just very run down.

I walked into my room and it smelled like the bedding and carpet had not ever been cleaned. Carpets in the hallway are dirty and stained. The room I stayed in looked NOTHING like the photo online. There were holes in the wall where wall hanging units had been removed (or torn?) out? I got there around 8pm and had a hard time locating a staff member to check in. Said staff member disappeared after I was checked in again.

We arrived for one night. The room we were given was not clean. We were immediately changed, with many apologies, to a larger and more spacious room.Overall it was nice, the room we got was very large, with a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, a few dishes. The maintenance is not good, the taps were leaking all night. But, and this is a big but! The view was worth it all. We saw the sunset, the sunrise over the lake and it was amazing and spectacular!

The smoke detector was missing. The towels were tiny and very thin and had many brownish stains. The bedspread had blood stains. The bedside lamp was broken and not working. The decking and stairs were warped, slanted, cracking and peeling and did not feel safe at all. The private beach is located across the busy highway and there was no crosswalk or lights making it very very unsafe to cross.

It was a rainy chilly day when we checked in. We turned on the heat. After half an hour of blowing only cold air my husband went to the front desk. The young man came upstairs and held his hand for several minutes then declared we would have heat in 20-30 minutes. After another half hour of cold air I went to the front desk and requested a room change. I am sensitive to cold and will awaken if the room is cold. The man said they were fully booked. So I returned and turned off the cold air machine, closed the curtains, and opened the room door so the warm air in the hall could come in. We were fully dressed and reading. A woman soon arrived with keys to a much nicer room. They were not fully booked. The hall was noisy until after 10 with young children running around but eventually quieted. I arose early and went to the dining room where I fixed a cup of coffee and enjoyed a beautiful sunrise over the lake. It was apparent breakfast would not be much so we went to a terrific diner for breakfast. I would stay again just make sure there was heat.
