"Overall if you need a bed and a place to stay, this was fine. We got a great rate and with needing two rooms for two nights, it made the most sense. They do have a continental breakfast but there was no variety in the two times I stayed (four nights total). Biscuits and gravy, but no bacon or sausage. Eggs were premade circles. Did have coffee, juice, bagels, toast and frosted flakes. Pool was small and the water chilly but typical of hotel pools these days. I enjoyed it on my first stay but our family didn't make use of it on our second stay. I found bed comfortable but others found it hard and stiff. Elevator area was not overly clean. Staff was friendly but not always easy to find."

"Proximity to Bennigan’s restaurant was great so I didn’t have to venture out for dinner after arriving at the hotel. Breakfast was good but staff struggled a little to keep up with the number of guests. My only real complaint is that the bed was not comfortable as it seemed I could feel the springs."

"Our stay in Ventura was a great spot for us and some of our friends to get together and enjoy a weekend at the lake. We loved looking out at the lake from the covered patio and being able to walk across the road to fish, as well as up the road for ice cream at the Viking ;) The house was comfortable and we appreciated all of the yard games they had available to so we could enjoy a relaxing weekend with friends at the lake."

"We really enjoyed this beautiful place. Appreciated the dock and boat lift. The beach was disappointing as it was weedy and dirty and the deck and patio were dirty from the trees but we cleaned it up several times. Not much you can do about that. Trees needed the dead branches cut out which might have helped a little. The inside of the house was clean and very nice and supplies there were great. Windows really needed washing on the outside. Will stay here again."
