We have stayed here before. They had a couple of incidents that put their usual accommodations out of commission. Restaurant closed due to a fire. Front office under construction from an accident. Hot tub had not been cleaned in a while.

Room was very clean. I appreciated the assigned parking. The 2 hour complimentary van tour of the area was great! The hot tub was very relaxing. Price was reasonable. It was conveniently located for us. Front desk staff was very friendly, but not pool area staff. Both indoor pools were colder than desired. Pathway lights along sidewalk between front building and pool would be helpful. We stayed in older front building and water temperature for shower fluctuated from very hot to cold making showering unpleasant. No breakfast. No usb equipped receptacles.

Would stay again but not in front buildings

I would definitely stay here again but only in the pool hotel portion. The rooms in the building closest to the road are musty and need updating. There was a small dehumidifier in the room that I had to empty each day during our stay. My family was in the hotel portion and their rooms were much nicer albeit the bathrooms are extremely small. The staff are very friendly. The pool area very nice. The mini golf was nice but wish they offered discounts for guests. The best part was the free shuttle ride through the Amish countryside and our driver Chris was super nice!
