The new management is top notch. There's definitely a womans touch present. Surely there was work to be done esthetically, but it was evidently underway. We specifically appreciated the interest that management and caregivers gave to myself and fellow traveler. The lake was eye candy, and considered lagniappe.

Management is very difficult to work with. It was stated to my son they would issue a refund for a stay they cancelled. Once Expedia contacted them they stated they unfortunately could not refund the money. No damages were reported, but they would not refund me. I paid for 5 night nights and he only stayed 1 night.

This is a decent place to stay; dated but friendly and clean. They offer a dinner service which is nice and the breakfast is very good. It didn't appear that there was any housekeeping available during a 3 day stay. Nice staff and a convenient place to stay.

It's very difficult to block out light coming in around the curtains in order to sleep / the TV should be upgraded soon / the bathroom needs some serious upgrading & attention / no counter space to speak of, very very old sink / extra blankets should be placed in the room somewhere for customers to access if room becomes too cold at night / the locks on the doors are very dated....I was told that the property has been sold to new owner / investors and extensive remodel in in near future. The young lady at the front desk when I checked in is very customer oriented, very helpful and makes the customer fell welcomed to the property.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel room was less than expected when it came to any kind of comfort. The service was extremely rude, no cable, our room smelled of weed smoke which we complained of and they did not offer to move us. My husband got extremely nauseous and still nothing was done. My grandson and kids were told they couldn’t swim and locked the pool area 2 hours before it was supposed to regardless of it being 83 degrees outside. Do NOT STAY HERE!

The hotel was a bit outdated and could use a little work. But we didn’t mind it at all. We just went there to sleep because we were hunting right down the road. Staff was great. Seemed like a quiet place even seen a deer in the parking lot.
