We stayed for a week. The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean. The kids loved the heated pool and we loved the view of the lake and bridge from the pool. The bathroom was small and needed more counter or shelf space. The shower curtain had a tendency to move over the rim of the shower while in use causing water to get all over the bathroom floor. There was only one towel bar so we could only hang two towels to dry. We bought some suction hooks to hang our bathing suits in the shower. The room had a small refrigerator and a coffee maker. No microwave in the room, it was outside near the office. The rooms are nicely decorated. Overall a very nice place to stay.
