The best thing about the entire stay was the water pressure in the shower head. The decor is very dated. The living room area couch and chair smelled very musty. So bad I couldn't sit there long do to my allergies. My nose and eyes were actually burning from the smell. The buffet had a wide variety of items. It was good for what it is. If we ate more Japanese cuisine it would have been great.

The room was on the top floor overlooking the lake but the trees blocked most of the view. The size of the room was good and the bed was comfortable. It would have been good to have smaller pillows available in the room. I ended up rolling up a towel to make a smaller pillow. Meals were included in the stay and there was plenty of variety.
Only real bummer is that I think I left my Prescription Progressive Glasses in the room and can't get anyone to pick up the phones & check!
