We enjoyed a two-night stay as a family, using the hotel as a base for our local adventures. While the check-in process was seamless and the lake view was lovely, the room cleanliness left some room for improvement, and I was disappointed that my call about a forgotten charger wasn’t returned. Overall, it served our needs but could use some attention to details.
