The picture led me to believe it was lakefront. It is not. The busy road runs on both sides of it. The balcony off the restaurant gives a peek a boo view of the lake. The bed had a huge wood frame that I had to climb over to get in and out of bed. Not a fan. The low flow shower head barely rinsed me off. Get being water wise but that was ridiculous. Then the tap in the sink spewed water out, it was hard to control. Our room door and bathroom doorwere so loud and squeaky it woke anyone else in the room up. The restaurant food was like heated up frozen dinner. Very noisy hot tub area was right under our room. We were only there one night but I would not go back.

I had a so called “luxury king” room that cost $307 a night plus taxes!! It was not close to luxury!! It was the size of a postage stamp and had very old furniture and mattress!! The screen door to the balcony had torn screen flapping in the wind! The carpet in the hallway was torn and old and worn!! Not worth the money!! Do not stay here!!

Hotel was average. No movie channels, but more importantly there was strands of hair on towels, and one in the bed. There were also several hairs on the floor in the bathroom behind the door. Gross bathrooms are a red flag for me. I doubt we’ll stay here again.
