Overnight stay.

Stayed for one night. Grest access to lake. Staff very friendly and professional. Most of the resort needs some TLC. Kinda pricey for the room, but understand its the price to pay for access to the lake.

This resort needs capital investment and better marketing. I really hope this resort survives because it is one of a very few big resorts left in the area, but it does have the feeling of a business in a spiral. Everywhere I looked, I could see how this place must have been vibrant and full of life with the convention center, gift shop, diner, bar and grill, large number of rooms, multiple pools, etc. Now most of these areas are either closed or in disrepair. Very sad. For the size of the resort, it is much too big for the current number of guests there. I just hope it gets remodeled vs sold to developers.

The A/C in our room kept shutting off. The pillows on our beds were pretty flat. Indoor pool wasn't too bad. The hot tub had peeling paint. Entire resort is kind of run down.

What I liked: - staff was courteous and friendly - boathouse bakery had nice breakfast at reasonable cost What I didn't like: - Weird power outlet wiring in room - single light switch controlled power to all outlets except the bathroom so in order to charge devices overnight we had to unscrew lightbulbs. No information available about this. - Wifi only available in the lobby.

Room was dirty

The room was dirty. Cheese popcorn on the floor next to the bed. A used washcloth on the floor in the bathroom in between the tub & the toilet. Black marks on the sheets (like from a suitcase)? The restaurant/bar was closed until further notice. However, the staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful.

Clean but stale cigarette smell.

If you loved the 80’s you will love the decore. It is clean, I checked for bugs and none were found. I can get passed the dated decore but the smell of old stale cigarette smoke bothered my allergies horribly. My bathroom vent fan also didn’t have a function light so I did my hair and makeup by sink light for the wedding I was attending. Also no wifi in my room to finish up and check in work stuff. Overall very clean and quiet but the smell was too much for my allergies, it was also a no smoking room. The main lobby had the same smell.

Has three separate pools and a beach. Beach was nice but as a whole basically everything else on property is outdated or doesn’t work and staff shows a serious lack of effort or care for the guests. To the point of the owner actually approached us and at least one other couple, that I know of throwing a fit and a temper tantrum about parking while yelling and swearing at us while I had my daughter with me and was trying to back into a spot to unload items. Rooms were musty and had not been cleaned as there were crumbs everywhere. The bedding had multiple visual stains. Called front desk at 9:00 am to get clean towels and at 9:00 pm still had not received any even after offering to come get them. Finally a staff member after groaning about it brought three towels and said he was sorry that they were short staffed. I could go on, but I will just say that for almost $300.00/ night I would look elsewhere…!

The hotel rooms are shockingly dated, not clean and give the feel of an institution. While we understand it was a holiday, the nightly rate was outlandish for the quality. It’s inexcusable there seemingly haven’t been any updates to the hotel in decades.

Good enough for a couple dudes.

Good enough to sleep at. Beds were very tired, decor is from 1992...but again, its a decent place to lay your head down for a few hours.
