Property was nice, beautiful view of Lake. Staff was professional and attentive. Unfortunately, the smell in the room was to much. Smelt like wet dog. Staff was great about us changing our room the second room did not smell as strong but there was still a strong smell. I think the hotel needs to change its carpets and maybe put in laminate or something does that does not retain a musty smell
