The hotel is older and could use some updates. But it was clean. Was concerned being right on a main drag, but was surprisingly quiet in our room. There is a barrier between the rooms and the road. View from patio was awesome. Got pics of a beautiful sunrise right out our door. Lots of baby ducks to make us smile as well.

Clean and economical

The resort is older but very clean. The location in town next to the lake is fantastic and the suite size is awesome. All of this makes for a a super value that is fair on the budget. We will be repeat customers.
