This hotel has amazing potential but is very run down at the moment. The pictures online are very deceiving. We checked into the Executive suite and were shocked at the conditions. There was black mold along the base of the bathtub, the ceiling paint was chipping and falling on our bed, the curtains were broken and falling, the list goes on. We went to the front desk with our concerns. The staff member Wendy was extremely helpful in trying to rectify the situation. She reassigned us to three different rooms until we settled on the least disgusting of the four we looked at. I realize that this hotel is under new management and is slowly being upgraded but it is not worth the amount we were charged for it. I would like to see compensation from them or from Hotels.com for the recommendation to stay here.

Had stayed there many times over the years and it was always perfect. However this time it was seriously disappointing! All restaurants in the hotel and on the grounds were now closed. Bar was open. Parking lots and entry road in deplorable condition. Potholes everywhere! Previously immaculate gardens in densely weeded condition. The hallways in the wing we were assigned had scraped off paint on the walls, stained rugs and smelled of mildew and what appeared to be "pot". When hotel told about the "pot" smell they just shrugged their shoulders and acted like it wasn't the 1st time they've heard it. Had to ask for additional towels as they only gave you 1 towel of each size for a 2 day stay per person. Did not use draws as they had a strong mildew odor. Didn't use the pool. On the plus side, room inside was clean and bed was very comfortable. Desk staff was pleasent put appeared apologetic. We were told hotel was being purchased and will be slowly upgraded. Lake view was still lovely even though the piers were damaged and unusable . Have great hope this property will someday be restored to its former glory.

This property feels like one of the last standing resorts from its glory days. While it could definitely use some extra upkeep, it wasn’t a bad place to stay at all. The charm and unique location made it feel more like an experience than just a stay. Staff was limited, especially with dining hours, but there were plenty of great food options nearby to make up for it.

Staff were more than helpful. Especially Deepa. The hotel is in horrible shape. The grounds are totally lacking any work. Weeds Everywhere! We had to change rooms because a toilet leaked everywhere & could not be repaired. I got the feeling this happens a lot. This hotel should not be open. Not until it is refurbished. I know they are working on it but the place smells, the pool is awful. Dead plantings, dry leaves everywhere.

We stayed one night. The inside of the property is amazing. Not sure I have seen anything like that before. When you are in the upper level your balcony is overlooking the hall. That has a great venue place, pool and there was a DJ there the night we stayed so it was super fun sitting on the balcony listening to his sipping cocktails. Kids said pool was cold and the hot tub is removed. There is a small arcade with a couple of old games. The lake has a beach with sand but there is a lot of geese poop. A few very hip restaurants nearby and ice cream places. I would say this place has potential. The lady at the front desk told me they are renovating it but by bit. So give it some time and I thins place can be a great destination. Seems like the
