Trade Market was a disappointment
The entire expo was great and we would definitely go back. The only thing I did not like was that I had a fever and had to buy Advil from their “Trade Market shop”. Normally I bring it with me. They charged us $18 for a small bottle of Advil. That bottle is about $6-$7 in stores. I found that a major ripoff. I’d still go to stay there but bring my own Advil or go to the town to buy anything I need.

I had the most incredible stay at Windermere House Resort, which truly exceeded my expectations! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. The resort’s grounds are absolutely breathtaking—lush gardens, and stunning lake views that make you feel like you're in paradise. The accommodations were luxurious, with every detail thoughtfully designed for comfort. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and had a private balcony where we could relax and watch the sunset each evening. The bed was so comfortable that I slept like a dream every night! Overall, this was a dream vacation, and I can't recommend [Resort Name] enough. Whether you're looking for relaxation, adventure, or a bit of both, this place has it all. I will definitely be returning!

Breakfast buffet was terrible. Worse than anything you ever could have received at a Motel 6. Scrambled eggs were not even real eggs, and cold, cheap fruits that looked like frozen fruit, I didn’t even recognize the spreads for toast, Coffee was really watered down and weak. It seems that every attempt was made to make this as cheap a breakfast as possible Pub food on the otherhand was good, we went there twice Finally we got a room that did have a balcony lake view but was a completely different room than what was shown on Expedia website. This had really cheesy crappy chairs to sit in instead of the nice couch that we should have had Windermere staff was unable to change us to the room we booked and should have been in
