This is a nice hotel close to the main street with shopping and restaurants and casinos. There is a beach in the other direction but I think there is a fee to use it during the high season. The staff is great. There is an outdoor patio with firepit tables, a lovely indoor reception area, a coffee shop inside the lobby (separate business), a pool and a large outdoor area with an evening band, cornhole, etc. It was quiet except for a large group of young people but they observed quiet hours for the most part. I'd stay again if in the area.

Good for family snow trip

Quick visit to the snow with kids. Liked the restaurant on property, made food easy for kids and we got to enjoy the beer selection. Room was clean, liked the balcony to drink coffee in the morning, pretty spot to watch snow fall.

Great location. The beer garden on site is awesome and the staff in there is wonderful. Our room was on the 3rd floor and had an awful mold/mildew smell- not sure if all the rooms are like that. Property encourages guests to communicate via texts but they don’t respond.

Everything was great and the gentleman at the front desk was amazing. Beds were not really queen sized and a little uncomfortable, but water pressure in the shower, all the amenities and thinks to do on the property were amazing. Would definitely stay again!

Great area, quick walk to lots of good shopping and dining, very close to the lake. Live music next to the bonfires was fantastic. The hot tub was nice for the one day it wasn’t overrun by a group of 10+ preteens, and the other hot tub was broken so we didn’t really get a chance to enjoy it. It should probably be mentioned somewhere that this hotel is used as a travel spot for schools as well. Room was clean enough, the shower is a bit of a pain because the shower head directly faces the door, so you can’t turn on the water to let it get warm without water getting all over the floor. Water temps fluctuate a lot. For the price I can’t complain too much. Walls were thick, couldn’t hear the neighbors clearly which was awesome. Easy check-in and check-out. Overall, would probably stay again as long as it’s after school is out.

We enjoyed the fire pits and listening to live music. Beer was very good. The hot tub was really a swimming pool for kids. No room service offered. We picked up what we needed from the front desk.

There was an attached air cooler In my room that made a horrible howling noise all night. Did not sleep a bit. Called the front desk around midnight to complain and did not get anyone to answer.
