Would stay again!
I booked this hotel based on other reviews. It certainly did not disappoint! Check in was easy and the room was spotless. Can’t beat the bridge view!

Great view!
Love this hotel! I’ve stayed here a few times and love the location, view, and friendly staff. I gave 3 stars for comfort because the bed was like sleeping in a hammock (room 105). I don’t recall having that the other times I’ve stayed here.

Great location
Comfortable but small room, kitschy decor, great location and heated pool still open in October. Met our needs perfectly!

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable bed, no breakfast which is some disappointing, amazing view, fairly quiet, parking was a bit challenging when lot full for my handicapped mom. Building needs some TLC as upper balcony rails are scary. Steep steps with another scary rail. All in all would gladly stay again.

6/10 Good

The room was decorated very nicely and a small welcome gift of hershey's chocolate kisses in a pretty box with a ribbon was on the bed. The hotel was located on the edge of a state park by the lake and it was nice to walk around the area before dark. However, the room was very small and we had to climb a narrow staircase with torn indoor/outdoor carpeting to get to it. The bed was uncomfortable and there was inadequate lighting in the room.
