8/10 Very Good! (765 reviews)
The entire building, including the room, needed updating and/or maintenance. It felt like there was absolutely no pride in the property. There is no breakfast included, the ice machines are remote and in disrepair. We reserved a lake view, which turned out to be a noisy pool view along with a distant lake view. A nice balcony was included, along with screaming kids from the pool, and no internet once you went out the slider. The room’s furniture needed to be replaced, and since there was no desk, counter space and seating was very limited. Unfortunately, there aren’t many options up there so they still pack in the people and apparently don’t have the time or need to renovate.

The view was amazing from our balcony room over looking the bay. The room is very clean , spacious and comfortable. It had a small fridge with freezer, microwave and coffee maker. I would stay again and recommend to others.
