"Staff was very friendly. Easy check-in. The room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The view of the lake was fantastic. My only complaint is that we couldn’t regulate the heat regardless of how low we set it. We had to manually turn off/on; otherwise it would get too hot. Regardless we would still highly recommend staying here. "
