I felt very safe in this area; it was well maintained and lots to do within walking distance and close to the hotel. Parking and check-in were a little confusing as there was a car parked right at the front doors and driveway was intentionally blocked. After driving around the block a couple of times, I figured out that parking is actually on the street. I later figured out the parking lot down the road a bit, which was also little confusing because you couldn't tell if the parking was for the surrounding shopping areas or for the hotel. There weren't any visible signs to clarify.

Great property! Your balcony view is directly on the water. This property offers a dock unused just for guests. I would bring your own raft or float to enjoy the water. The pools and hot tube area are nice, and offer grills for cooking in the pool area and another location. Check in was great except our room wasn’t ready until 5, the check in time was 4, however they made accommodations to us to offset the delay. It’s close to many fun things to do at the Lake of the Ozarks!! We will be back and will stay here again.
