Disliked: Staff & service
Hotel was fine but really no better than a Motel 6 or other road side place to stay. The lake is pretty but way smaller than the website implies. Check-in staff had no suggestions of things to do or places to eat, didn't show how to get to our room & was generally unhelpful. Restaurant in site & gift shops were all closed, patio chairs were dirty & filled with cobwebs. Various places needed painting & just an overall feeling of a tired, old building. We weren't there for a spiritual retreat & so felt out of place with all the religious symbols, prayer request boxes & the signs saying that there was no alcohol allowed - not because of county laws but because it is bad for your body. I don't need to be judged by my hotel & I certainly felt that way.

The bathroom could have been cleaned better. The baseboards were dirty and the shower needed a better cleaning. But the beds were very clean and the room itself was very nice.

Parking was kind of a nightmare (not enough parking onsite), there were a lot of maintenance issues, including a mildew smell in the restroom.
