Location on lake is beautiful and rooms are nice. Signage to get around hotel is not helpful and long, narrow hallways are quite uncomfortable… reminded us of “The Shining.” Overall nice, price point for the room just seemed high for a lower, level lake view room right above busy restaurant area and long walk to room.
