We didn't eat breakfast here as it was expensive for us, but the bar offered plenty of choices in the evening all roughly what you'd expect to pay.

Baymont by Wyndham Hot Springs On the Lake
The property is obviously not well maintained. Bad A/C, was told to turn down the temp and it would stop. Had to change rooms late at night. Lots of small things in disrepair. Stay was OK but will not stay there again. Most everything appeared clean until you looked closely.
