The property is an interesting old mansion with lots of character in the layout . Our only complaint was the games room, which needs some maintenance; light bulb out over pool table, the bridge cue is missing and there is only one worn out piece of chalk. The shuffleboard is also worn out.

The Hotel is such a landmark and the front desk staff were amazing! The old world feel is so grand until you enter the room that was dated and in need of a renovation badly. Such a shame that the rooms are so awful to stay at such a beautiful location.

Beware - not lake view. Property is across the street from the lake. You can’t see the lake from their “lake view” rooms. Price is ridiculous for this run down, mostly empty “resort”. I deeply regret booking here for my partner’s surprise 50th getaway. Never again.
