    activities to do, but there was no internet and your cell service did not work. The shower had little pressure and the furniture in the room should be replaced.

    Great view from the hotel room. Pool was pleasant and open until midnight, which was a plus. We hope to come back next year!

    Exceptional

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Older building and rooms. Bed was ok, shower was ok, everything was just OK. Food at restaurant was not very good. No flavor walleye, burnt tasting large pretzel, flavorless omelets, burnt english muffins. Pool and hot tub were very dirty. Over priced for what you get, room and food.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Clean room but a bit outdated

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We loved all the activities and the views. Highly recommend visiting for the amenities. The place was very clean and very affordable. Only thing I wish they do is update the rooms. It is very dated even having some brighter colors to help brighten the room would be helpful.

    Our server we had at breakfast on Saturday 8/8 does not enjoy her job...we had to ask for many things due to her not bringing them to the table

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Outdated but in the loveliest way. The pool was warm and had a perfect view. We felt disconnected from our day to day life here. We can’t wait to come back.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Although I was there in the summer I feel it is much more a winter destination. Had dinner in the restaurant three night and the food was excellent.
