"We got a lake view room with a balcony and it was gorgeous. We used our patio lots and loved the view. The AC worked great, the staff was helpful, and the swimming dock was great! One thing to note is that there isn’t parking onsite, but they will shuttle you over to your car in the place they have set up for guests to park (over near the train station)."

"Just a wonderful hotel. The room was so lovely, it had a wonderful aroma when you walked in and every attention detail was paid to the hotel. The spa was clean and the swimming pool water was very pure and not heavy with chlorine. The breakfast was second to none, with lots of different options and very fresh. Just a really well put together hotel, and a five star experience! Surprised the hotel is not 5 star!"
