Not what I expected but nice
When I booked I asked for the view in the room, they said every trim overlooked the lake, upon check in my room was humid, dated, it had a musty smell and the window faced a wall… they did quickly fixed it and moved me to a much nicer room with no extra charge. The staff was very nice and friendly. I didn’t like that you had to drive to the pool and to the restaurant. The property could use some TLC

A beautiful place but a bit out dated
The hotel needs to be updated but the outside is gorgeous! And it was clean in our room. The pillows were very uncomfortable but again the room was clean. Checking in and out was simple. I also want to add it is a Christian based hotel. I didn’t know that when I booked.

If you are interested in an uber conservative stay this is the place for you.
Very scenic view.
Rooms comparable to Motel 6.
Space and rooms are dated.
Small bathrooms.
Friendly Staff.

Awesome stay! I do wish that the trolley had started running at the beginning of the weekend (it was Memorial Day weekend and the pool opened Saturday but no trolley until Sunday). Everything was great with the room. The only complaint is that the beds are not incredibly comfortable but would not keep us from returning. Looking forward to our next trip!

The lake that's infront of the hotel is BEAUTIFUL! The lobby is super unique, it's got an old fashioned style look! The only thing I didn't like was that they didn't have a breakfast options.

The hotel is nice. The service was the best part. We had an issue with our AC unit in the room and they immediately found a solution. Everyone we interacted with was extremely friendly. Definitely recommend this hotel if you’re wanting a quiet getaway.
