"They have a lot of construction going on and I was never able to get on the Wi-Fi. The maintenance staff is nice and are very quick with anything that is needed same with the front desk. The partial Lakeview isn’t really a partial Lakeview as it’s more of a corner view, if you kneel and turn your head a certain way. Overall, pretty decent stay. The hot tub and the recreation room is a nice touch."

We had issues with the internet and the tv, the owners switched our room with no issues. Internet was still slow but I attributed it to the high winds they were having.
