10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay! The hotel was very clean and well maintained, with a great location and convenient free parking. The restaurant was delicious, and we really enjoyed the pools and all the amenities. A special bonus was the complimentary boat and pedal boat rentals — such a fun way to enjoy the lake. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely stay here again!"

8/10 Good
"Clean but very basic. Very small bathroom. Chose this for the lake side location and inexpensive rate. It was sufficient, and clean, and across the street from a restaurant. Didn't need fancy, just a place to sleep."
