We loved everything about this hotel, except that you cannot pull up in front of the hotel to unload your car. They’re remodeling the lobby and it was a huge hassle, especially when it was pouring down rain.

It's a lovely place on the lake. Right now it is under renovation and the lobby is closed. You have to enter at a narrow door on the side of the hotel. A bit inconvenient, but not a great obstacle. They posted the work should be done by November.

Even though there were renovations going on to the lobby and restaurant, the hotel was quiet. There was adequate signage to direct us to the makeshift lobby, and the employees who were manning the desk were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was large, and the shower was very nice (lots of hot water on demand). All-in-all, it was a wonderful stay.
