Excellent stay. Very friendly, professional staff. Ladies at the front desk were great! Room was clean. Location convenient to all attractions, shopping, restaurants, etc. Pool area was nice, but hot & humid and chlorine very strong. Free breakfast was OK. Great coffee!

I liked that my room was Lakeside and I was able to walk out the sliding glass door right onto the beach. Part I didn't like was that I was charged a higher price than quoted for a second night stay that I booked after I had been there for the first night. I wasn't made aware of the price hike until I was handed my receipt. The cost was almost double.

Was genuinely surprised that this place was so outdated and kind of run down looking. For the price and the awards they claim to have won, I would have expected more modern rooms & just a nicer looking hotel. Another thing we were not thrilled about was that the paper in the room said breakfast was until 10, and when we got there at 8:50, the sign said it closed at 9 & there was no food left. What we loved was how close it is to everything & the nice beach. Waking up & seeing the lake & being able to walk down was a real treat

It was ok. 3.5 out if 5. The room was on a smaller side and outdated. The paint was coming off the ceiling in the bathroom. The space between tiles was moldy in some places. While the room was mostly clean, the sofa pillows were covered with white drops that I suspect were a sperm. Really? Not the best place for a child to sleep. Breakfast was ok. Nothing fancy: pancakes, oatmel, omlet, toasts, yogurt, granola bars, cereal, ham, bananas and oranges. Not fancy, but at least some variety. Pool was on a smaller side. The staff was cleaning the floor while children were playing in the pool, so all the floor cleaner from their feet was in the pool and the water was making the eyes burn. There was no changing room outside of the pool area. You either change in the tiny restroom inside the pool area, or walk to your room wet at 54 F in a wind. The location was great. In the middle of everything. The beach was relatively clean. The staff was accomodating. The sheets and towels crispy clean. There are prons and cons.
