Very clean hotel
I almost didn't stay at this hotel because some reviews said it was dirty. The hotel was spotless! We ate in the restaurant, it was good, the bartender John was great. Our balcony had a gorgeous view. We would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay with two kids, ages 2 and 11. Room was nice, balcony was a bit shaky and might need a little maintenance. Restaurants on site were nice, a little pricey but peaceful place. We lost power in the middle of night due to storms but generator kept hall lights and bathroom light on. We weren't inconvenienced much. Breakfast buffet wasn't the best- opt for the Starbucks on site. We loved the outdoor pool!

It wasn’t up to date. In the indoor pool there was a sock over something to prevent people from touching it. The facilities need to be updated.

The property grounds were beautiful and the amenities were perfect for our family. Our kids loved the pool options, video game rooms, and on site playground. The facility is dated and could definitely use some improvements, but that would not deter us from staying here again. Bonus, there's a Starbucks in the hotel. Shanna at reservations did an outstanding job at taking care of our family. Shanna did

Our room was very dirty. Stains on the walls and curtains, bugs in the sliding door track. Our dresser drawer , wouldnt stay shut. Same with the nightstand drawer. In the closet , the pipes were all exposed and not attached to the wall. Dirty and wouldn't trust putting my clothing in there. Restaurant , had a very limited menu. Did not offer a continental breakfast. Breakfast onsite was $20 a person. I would not recommend staying at this hotel

Meh..
I have to be honest. The photos make this place look amazing. It's fairly outdated and the cleanliness of the overall property was pretty disappointing. There are all these windows and they are dirty - not just like water spots from rain but just filthy from not being cleaned or maintained. The place itself is outdated. The elevator takes forever and I can't exaggerate it. One of the days we were here someone had vomited in front of the loading area. I told someone at the front desk at around 9 am. I came back around the same way later and the vomit was still there at 6 pm. It was horrible, and I couldn't believe they hadn't taken care of it.

Wasn’t worth the money per night. Very old and loud. Breakfast buffet was empty for $20 a plate and only one person cooking omelettes to stock food. Need more at Starbucks’s that isn’t Starbucks.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Resort. Everything was to our liking. If I had to suggest something, it would be lake access for guest from the shuttle. We wanted to see the lake but only found private places to view from. And also there wasnt any local shopping. Overall it is a very nice getaway. We loved it.
