No paper, pen, bible, phone book. No radio. Phone but didn’t work even though plugged in. Told continental breakfast, went to ask what time and was told only cereal but they ran out of milk. Staff didn’t know where anything was, ex: game room. Game room had games that didn’t work and the ones that did offered prizes but were empty. Uncomfortable couch, bed. No dirty clothes bag. Very low water pressure, not cold for drinking or brushing teeth. Coffee pot had to be moved as it was not near an outlet, coffee came out luke warm. Front desk didn’t tell us correct directions to our room. Very dark not enough lighting even with every light turned on. Tv was use your own device to watch anything or watch bad channels. Weather channel not even local. Had rolling chair that was incredibly hard to move. Wanted to use swim up bar but no bartender, was told they’d have to bring from bar with entertainment but you’d have to get out and go ask them to bring to you. Told mini golf 1 minute walk but not told you had to cross a busy Bagnell dam blvd. all stores in downtown were closed. Only good things: Amy, Thomas (bartenders) Wes GM for bar and Jordan or Jordy the singer Tuesday night. Wednesday nights musician wouldn’t take requests and was rude and full of himself. If I have a chance to go back I would stay somewhere else.

The rooms were nice, staff was courteous and helpful, good options for amenities and good location. Free breakfast ordered was just cereal and milk. The shower pressure was poor-if you wanted full pressure you had to turn it all the way hot and if you wanted warm you had minimal pressure. The breakfast at Encore restaurant was overpriced and not very good but the staff were wonderful.

We drove in late and stayed here one night and stayed for 7 hours. I was charged an extra 75.00 non refundable fee for my pet that was not disclosed on Expedia. I was also moved to a building in the back that felt like a roadside motel. I feel this should be a refundable deposit as my pet does not damage property. The unit was clean I will say however there was no liner in shower so it was hard to keep water in with thin curtain. There is an office looking drop ceiling in the shower with water stains all over it. The staff was very friendly and accommodating but all in $243.00 for 8 hours in those accommodations is very overpriced. Sadly disappointed

Good morning Beth, and thanks for your feedback. the 75 pet fee, is a fee, not a deposit. And we only allow pets in one of our buildings. Our room rates are extremely competitive to all other hotels in the area, and you were certainly welcome to have stayed more than 8 hours. Thanks again for your feedback.

The best view of the lake is from the 4th floor outside seating area by the elevators. There's a BIG marina on the lake shore below the "resort." It was off season, so only continental breakfast during the week. The pool is 2.5 feet to 3.5 feet, so great for kids, not great for swimming. Rooms were ok clean. They are upgrading the rooms, and you can tell. Staff was very friendly.

Clint, we apologize that we didn't meet your expectations. During our off season we only serve breakfast on the weekends. However, if guest come to the desk asking we are more than happy to set out/grab whatever our guest would like. We do set out boxes at the end of all of our buildings, as we like to take our own precautions. Again we are truly sorry your stay wasn't satisfying.

We arrived at the hotel after a 14 hour drive. We were tired and wanted to get some sleep. There was noise coming from other rooms which made it difficult to sleep. The room had some newer furnature but overall the room was in need of maintenance. The toilet rocked back and forth of the floor, making noise when used. We paid extra for a lake view room, but most of the view is looking at the back of the buildings between the hotel and the water. The room had a door to allow for a connecting room, but you could see into the other room under the door, and increased noise between rooms. It was a bit creepy to see other next door walk by. In the morning, we wanted to sleep in and our room was across from the employees area and they were in the hall talking and making noise in the morning making it impossible to get sleep. I was expecting more out a place that calls itself a resort, but it turned out to be an old hotel that needs some work.

When arriving at the hotel was told that what we reserved wasn’t available that our area was closed for maintenance. No inside pool no hot tub no lakeview room as booked and was confronted with wanting 100$ deposit for possible damages instead of offering discount with inconveniences.

Good morning Lisa. We do apologize if there were other guests that disturbed your sleep. That said, when you called the office and we went to investigate the issue, whoever was being loud, had apparently left by then. I would add, that when the restaurant managers left at 1:30, there wasn't anyone on any landings, streets or parking areas. We look forward to having you back to give us the opportunity to earn a 5 Star review on your next visit.

Exceeded expectations. We were in town for a wedding, and The Resort was close and perfectly central to the church and reception venue. Our room was fresh and clean; appears recently remodeled, very comfortable. Pleasantly surprised to have a complementary continental breakfast available in the morning.

This ass is not very helpful and the rooms were not worth their price and you didn’t get no room service and the continental breakfast was literally a packaged waffle that you toast or cereal. It was really disappointing.!! I will never say there again.!!!! was rude and overcharged us!!!!

Thanks for your feedback Stephani. We don't advertise that we serve breakfast at the Resort, we do provide a complimentary continental breakfast, which is waffles, cereal, yogurt and juice. We did offer a great hot breakfast at the Encore Sunday morning during the Chiefs win over the Dolphins. We also don't advertise that we have room service, as most hotels and resorts at the lake do not. We apologize if you thought anyone was rude, our staff is always very friendly and helpful, and we are sorry if you caught someone at a bad moment. I doubt that you were over charged, but by all means if you believe you were, please contact our General Manager, and he can assist you with that. Thanks again for your feedback.
