Not the property fault, however we had a neighbor up all night trying to recenter building so we got very little sleep, maybe 3 hours of sleep! Our whole floor was not happy!
Glad they have available room for us, what a view and sunset, exceptionally friendly staff, room was very clean and spacious, comfortable bad, food right downstairs at the bar
On Friday night July 12 they had a band in the evening. They were very vulgar and cursing a lot. Cuss words in their songs. There were children around. We thought it was very inappropriate. The band fought and argued during their breaks, and then packing up. There was an argument as well. Everything else was fine. Very friendly staff
Me and my late husband stayed there for our honeymoon and it was the perfect place. So last weekend I took my kids there to see and they absolutely loved it too.
Stayed for location to downtown and view. Liked the bar and grill attached with lake view. Our balcony view blocked by rooftop of the bar and grill. Dont stay in 204 for that reason as all other rooms looked to have great view of lake. Id stay again, just a different room gaving problems with hot water. Wife didnt have hot water for shower
Everything for the most part was great 👍
But dock was not safe to moor your private boat
I also found a rusty nail 2x6 floating inside one of the dilapidated customer slips… I set it nails down on the unusable dock slip….
I’ll bet it’s still there, as there was 0 evidence of upkeep..
The gals at the front desk were nice but never there early in the morning for coffee, which I turned on myself a couple days a little after 6..
One morning the front desk didn’t open until after 8:15??
Garbage removal? We did it..
Fresh towels and wash clothes? We refreshed them..
PARKING TOTALLY SUCKS!!
With the cones and small spaces…
For some reason you asked….
So I had to be honest….
Otherwise we loved the room and view 👍
