in the last weekFabulous hotel and staff! Only docked a star because of the location. There isn't really that much to walk to around this area, especially when you are looking for some cheaper eats or things to do without getting into a car.

in the last weekIncredible service from Brendon! He handled my midnight check-in perfectly, allowing me to make my 7:00 AM Sunday client meeting without a hitch.

in the last weekUnbelievable. Had a hotel room booked because my flight was delayed and show up for the ROOM THEY LET UNITED BOOK and they don’t have it clean and ready to lend out. What is the point of a hotel that doesn’t have rooms and why are you not simply not listing them in that situation? Insane.

in the last weekLocation is spectacular. Bon fire outside, swimming, the lake view is awesome, gym cool. Rooms are cool, the only thing I will say is there fridge hella small, can barely fit a dang Lunchables. The service, maybe its me, but im pretty good at reading body language and tone of voice( got 23 years of hypervigilance, if yall know what I mean) lady was condescending like as if we couldn't afford to be there. Maybe she was tired and frustrated. Yeah thats my experience may im tripping but my spidy senses are pretty sharp. Other than that its aight.
