I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was decent, being a short drive from the main area, and the rooms were clean, but the noise issues from other guests made my stay less enjoyable. While the staff was friendly and accommodating, the dining situation turned out to be quite frustrating, leading us to seek options elsewhere. Overall, it wasn't a terrible stay, but definitely not ideal.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The hotel had some perks like a clean and comfy room, along with a really friendly reception team. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, and the location was a bit far from the main attractions. All in all, it was a decent stay, but not without its frustrations.

The stay at the hotel was quite an experience with some highs and lows. The friendliness and politeness of the staff really stood out, making us feel welcomed. However, the accommodations had several oddities like a lack of power outlets and misleading dining information that led to a wet search for food. Overall, it's decent but doesn't hold up to ‘resort’ expectations.

The hotel has a motor lodge feel and offers pool facilities, but the pool could use some cleaning.

I found this motel to be a decent option overall, but I wouldn’t quite call it a resort. The room was clean and I appreciated the lovely view of the lake. However, the lack of air conditioning made it quite uncomfortable during the humid weather, especially with an infant. It also felt a bit outdated, and the access to the upstairs room via slippery concrete stairs was concerning. While it wasn't entirely noisy, the price felt a bit high for what we received.

The location was fine, being slightly back from the main road, providing a quiet environment while still being handy to nearby amenities.
Dining

I didn’t use the in-house restaurant during my stay due to the discount sign at the entrance, which felt like a lack of value for our booking.

The facilities could use some attention, especially with regards to the maintenance of the outdoor areas and furniture.
