"The property was clean. It was a distance away from the main town. You needed a vehicle to get into town. There was no lake view from the rooms only from the rooftop. Noise was audible from adjacent room.. at one point there was no water available to our room."

"Nice hotel and a good location. The only thing I really don't like was the shower was not very good. It was very short. The water pressure was low and the glass partition to block the water was not very long and so the bathroom got all wet."
