Rooms were great - nice size. Some were recently repainted it seemed. Hotel was spacious with a good indoor pool and hot tub. Breakfast staff was friendly but the breakfast could have had a little more variety. All in all a great stay.
We stayed here the end of February and had the most relaxing time. The room was very clean and the bed was so comfortable. The breakfast was phenomenal, it had fresh fruit along with a full breakfast of anything you can imagine. Will definitely be staying here again.
All of the above plus some
The staff was super friendly
It was quiet
Everyone was so nice
The room was huge, the view was amazing yes the lake/beach was frozen over but theres nothing like it
The room was very clean, i would definitely recommend 👌
Desk not overly friendly. We were un tbe building next to the main hotel. Heat was not gokd. No cups or utensils in tbe room. Did not like rhe bare floors.
Our room was spotless, well arranged and had a comfort of home feel. Walk in shower was nice, but the open design (without door) leaves you chilled after showering. Otherwise excellent and I would come back.
we had an amazing beach view with a fireplace. breakfast was delicious. My only ask is for freshly made oatmeal as the instant is not as good. We were off season so that may be why. Otherwise the entire experience was just the best and the team was attentive and outstanding!
The hotel is a little hidden away, but once you make the right turn into the parking lot, it is absolutely beautiful. The views are exquisite, the bed is comfortable amenities are amazing and the breakfast was really good.

If i could give this hotel 2.5 stars i would have. Pros:Our room was nice, clean, and spacious. The hotel has a good location.
Cons: below average amenities. Pool is small. They advertise a game room, very lame. They advertise the "best breakfast" it was below average for any hotel
The location is absolutely amazing, with a stunning lake view right in front of you. Even if there were any minor issues with the stay, the kindness and friendliness of the staff made all complaints fade away. Breakfast was a bit disappointing since the menu was the same two days in a row. However, the unlimited cookies and coffee were a real highlight and truly wonderful. Thanks to that, we’re leaving with sweet memories. We’re already looking forward to coming back in the summer!
