Wonderful Stay with Great Staff
larger room kind staff lake view comfortable bed
The staff showed great care for my child when he felt unwell. They moved us to a larger room promptly. A bed was set up on the floor for him, so we could stay together. Staff members interacted with him often and kindly. I am thankful for the kindness the team showed all of us. The hotel's location offers views of the lake. The rooms have nice details like sweets and bottled water. The beds felt gigantic and very comfortable to me. The location is generally peaceful.

Acceptable Stay but Room Disappointing
small room poor soundproofing
The staff were helpful and provided prompt service when requested.
The bathroom was particularly cramped with limited space for toiletries. I found the noise from nearby rooms and hallways disruptive at times.
