We had a very nice stay here. Clean and in a convenient location, with the lake and various restaurants within walking distance. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room itself was like a small apartment with 2 floors and a full kitchen and sitting area. Very nice and clean pool and hot tub, with hours that appeared to be from 9am to 9pm. We would definitely consider staying here again!
