8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2026
The area is beautiful. We enjoyed walking on the beach and watching the sunrise. The price was reasonable. The updates to the hotel decor are good and noticeable. The staff was polite, kind, and helpful. The restaurant's small buffet looked inviting and clean though we chose to eat in town.
The room was mostly clean though the air-conditioning and heating unit had visible musky stuff on the vent. They need to do some antimold spray or treatments because it's a hotel on the lake. The bathroom had liquid soaps available in the shower though they were not secure, so anyone could tamper with them; bring your own. The mattress was fairly comfortable and linens were clean; although, I prefer the mattresses at Drury Inn or Marriott Hotels. Some of the older furniture around the hotel needs to be cleaned or replaced. They have been doing updates we noticed and the updates are nice. We did request coffee in the morning and needed to pay for coffee through the restaurant downstairs. There was a small free coffee machine in the room. It would be nice if coffee was free in the lobby. We were grateful to have fresh hot coffee for breakfast.

The staff, the upgraded.rrooms, but especially...the amazing Lake view. Affordable, but felt like luxury. And the restaurant and staff amazing as well. What a great way to end my visit.
That the swimming pool still not reopened
