I had a great stay. The staff is friendly and attentive. The lobby is comfortable and pretty quiet. Which is great if you’re looking for a work space outside of your room. Plus there’s beer on tap. My room was clean, stocked, and spacious enough for two. Location is great. It’s in a beautiful lake town.

The room was clean and quiet, which made our stay very comfortable. The staff were also very friendly. It would be even better if a handheld shower head could be added, as it would make bathing kids much more convenient.
