The in room fireplace and jacuzzi were wonderful. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast service seemed a little out of date. The bagels were stale. I had to request snow removal on the stairs. Otherwise, the front desk was very helpful.

The pluses were the location and a decent continental breakfast. Other than that the walls were thin and you could hear everything, the staff were non attentive, and the room was not clean with pubic hairs in all the tubs, the cable tv did not work according to the book with instructions or at all.

This is an older property that is in need of repair and remodeling but the staff is very friendly and helpful and the rooms are clean. We always need help with the TV and turning on the gas fireplace as there isn’t enough direction given in each room. That being said, we enjoy relaxing in the in-room jacuzzi tub and it is our third annual visit.

Overnight Stay

One night stay. Check in was quick. Room was to be a lake view but was more of a boat slip view. Room was out dated but bed was comfortable, jacuzzi was nice, fireplace needed a new battery to work which was fixed. Breakfast was limited.
