The best view of the lake is from the 4th floor outside seating area by the elevators. There's a BIG marina on the lake shore below the "resort." It was off season, so only continental breakfast during the week. The pool is 2.5 feet to 3.5 feet, so great for kids, not great for swimming. Rooms were ok clean. They are upgrading the rooms, and you can tell. Staff was very friendly.

Clint, we apologize that we didn't meet your expectations. During our off season we only serve breakfast on the weekends. However, if guest come to the desk asking we are more than happy to set out/grab whatever our guest would like. We do set out boxes at the end of all of our buildings, as we like to take our own precautions. Again we are truly sorry your stay wasn't satisfying.

We arrived at the hotel after a 14 hour drive. We were tired and wanted to get some sleep. There was noise coming from other rooms which made it difficult to sleep. The room had some newer furnature but overall the room was in need of maintenance. The toilet rocked back and forth of the floor, making noise when used. We paid extra for a lake view room, but most of the view is looking at the back of the buildings between the hotel and the water. The room had a door to allow for a connecting room, but you could see into the other room under the door, and increased noise between rooms. It was a bit creepy to see other next door walk by. In the morning, we wanted to sleep in and our room was across from the employees area and they were in the hall talking and making noise in the morning making it impossible to get sleep. I was expecting more out a place that calls itself a resort, but it turned out to be an old hotel that needs some work.

The owners of the attached Encore Restaurant stopped by our table and chatted with us at dinner. Good food and friendly staff all around.

This is more of a motel set up and the people outside on the landing and in the street were extremely loud until 3:30am despite calling the office.

Good morning Lisa. We do apologize if there were other guests that disturbed your sleep. That said, when you called the office and we went to investigate the issue, whoever was being loud, had apparently left by then. I would add, that when the restaurant managers left at 1:30, there wasn't anyone on any landings, streets or parking areas. We look forward to having you back to give us the opportunity to earn a 5 Star review on your next visit.

Exceeded expectations. We were in town for a wedding, and The Resort was close and perfectly central to the church and reception venue. Our room was fresh and clean; appears recently remodeled, very comfortable. Pleasantly surprised to have a complementary continental breakfast available in the morning. Would recommend and stay again.

This ass is not very helpful and the rooms were not worth their price and you didn’t get no room service and the continental breakfast was literally a packaged waffle that you toast or cereal. It was really disappointing.!! I will never say there again.!!!! was rude and overcharged us!!!!
Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023
Response from Mangement on Nov 6, 2023
Thanks for your feedback Stephani. We don't advertise that we serve breakfast at the Resort, we do provide a complimentary continental breakfast, which is waffles, cereal, yogurt and juice. We did offer a great hot breakfast at the Encore Sunday morning during the Chiefs win over the Dolphins. We also don't advertise that we have room service, as most hotels and resorts at the lake do not. We apologize if you thought anyone was rude, our staff is always very friendly and helpful, and we are sorry if you caught someone at a bad moment. I doubt that you were over charged, but by all means if you believe you were, please contact our General Manager, and he can assist you with that. Thanks again for your feedback.

We used your ap to find a pet friendly room. Picked this “place” and at check in was asked to sign a no pet statement or a severe fine, I explained that the entire reason we picked this hotel was for pet, so for an extra $75 they could accommodate us. We had booked a king bed room. The place was less than 10% occupancy. After talking with my wife and the fact the room was non refundable, we had no choice but to go forward. The resort agreed to only charge $50 for the pet fee. We get our key and go around the facility to a stand alone building by the docks with NO ROOM occupied and our room on the ground floor, backside, by the stairs in the corner. Bathroom door didn’t shut….no toilet paper holder, just a roll on the back of the toilet..and it was a Queen double NOT a king we had booked. Both beds had a major mattress sag in the middle …Desk said only pet rooms were in that isolated building and queens….so screwed…we did not feel safe isolated in the back side of an empty building alone… We left rather than stay there and spent the night at a Super 8 up the road for less than half the price with accommodating people and a much better room I’d recommend sleeping in your vehicle at Walmart before staying at this place..

Thank you for your feedback Karla, and we regret that you didn't enjoy your stay. You were not the only guest in that building, and we would have gladly moved you to a different room, but that is the only building that we have that is pet friendly, and only one side of that building. We try our best to accommodate all of our guests the best we can, and many guests have pet allergies and can't stay in a room once a pet has been in the room, regardless of how thoroughly we clean the room after your departure. We have also had many experiences where dogs bark and disrupt other guests, which is why we limit our pet friendly rooms to one side of one building, and that side of the building is the only place on the property where it is appropriate for guests to walk their dogs. We are glad you found a room that better suited you and your pet. We wish you all the best in your future travels.

Thanks for your feedback Donis. We checked your door and couldn't find anything wrong with it and it worked properly for us. I assume you had a problem with the key card? And we didn't notice any odor in the room, it's possible that you had a dry P-Trap that corrected itself when water was ran down the drain.

Couples getaway
They're still doing renovations to the place so somethings are still outdated. The regular rooms are on the small sofe, especially for what you pay for them. We were at the end of the hall and someone had the exit door propped open and kept coming in and out slamming the door until after 2 in the morning which was very disturbing and made made for horrible resting. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of pillows. The ceiling in the bathroom is extremely low. And the door to the room had a gap at the bottom where you could see out. We didn't go to the pool or try the breakfast. And we booked this room thinking that we could walk down to the lake, but we found out when we got there that there was no lake access. All in all it wasn't a bad stay, but we probably wouldn't stay there again.

Great location for the motorcycle rally. Food was awful at the restaurant and the service wasnt much better. Sheets on bed had black hair on it and the toilet needed to be tightened down. Everything was fixed within 30 mins of the complaint. There is a resort fee of $10 per night which wasnt in Hotel.coms description of this place.
