fantastic stay!

helpful information separate bedroom perfect spot later checkout
ashley sent friendly and helpful information through text and email before we got there! my teenager was happy he had his own bedroom. the hotel's spot is perfect, near many cool places to see. arranging a slightly later checkout was a huge help for my family.
The soundproofing wasn't the best. I could hear some noise from other rooms.

small room nonexistent soundproofing
the location was close to the lake and the town center, acceptable.
The room was too small for my liking. also, the soundproofing was practically nonexistent. I heard every footstep and conversation (it was like living in a sitcom, but not funny).
