Shower did not work told the lady on the desk and she says o well I’ll let the maintenance guy know never even asked us at checkout how our stay was. Try going to sleep at night and the outside lights of the place shining in our room. Old carpet on the floor in our room

We had issues with the toilet as soon as we checked in and we hadn’t used it. I always flush the toilet to make sure it works before we settle in our room. We waited for maintenance to come up. The other item I did not know -if you stay for more than one night in a hotel the staff does not come in and freshen the room, remove used towels and replace them. I was very surprised by this. Everywhere I have stayed before for more than one night housekeeping always freshens the toom

Beautiful place to stay overlooking the lake. However the hotel is lacking of fridge and microwave, there’s no place to put pop and water if you would like a cold and heated your foods. Everything are good.

I liked the location room was clean, shower was nice beds seemed short room was on the hot side but turned on the outside fan / AC. Dining room / bar was nice had entertainment. You check in at the golf pro shop took a little longer due to my arrival time, being at the same time a night league was arriving.

Friendly and accommodating staff. Probably needed more staff in restaurant. With golf tournament people and our group of 20 eating at same time, we felt sorry for the staff who were trying to make it work well for us. Also, really appreciated getting a load of my laundry done.

It’s a cute standalone house with paved parking. Golf course is within walking distance of house and other properties and has a paved walkway so it makes for a nice walk if not golfing. Infloor heating made upstairs toasty warm. Small electric stove on main floor but we didn’t use it. Two full baths - one on main floor, other on second floor. Well stocked with towels, face cloths. Both bedrooms are upstairs. Property is well lit at night so you can’t miss it driving by.
