8.2/10 Very Good! (1,479 reviews)
Very loud guest. I called the front desk to complain, not sure if they did anything about it because the people staying right next to my room continued to bang on the walls, play loud music, and yell. The deposit fee is exaggerated $250!? I’ve stayed in better places where the deposit is only $50 or $100. Not worth it specially for the location. I greeted a front desk staff in the morning even though I am the one who had a horrible night, she ignored me. Not staying here ever again.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (507 reviews)
Gorgeous room & quiet surroundings but i wish there was a clearly marked trail or walking path. I also feel registered guests should have free access to enjoy the lake area.
