Despite this, the room had a wet dog smell. The A/C was on 68, but it felt muggy in the room. There weren’t many channel options on the TV. It seemed like an old TV, based on the fact that the screen randomly froze and there were images superimposed over other images, at times. Part of the “resort fees” was access to the saltwater pool “24/7”, but it was closed when we went to swim. Overall, I spent a lot for what was ultimately a disappointing experience. My stays at Hilton properties half the price have been more enjoyable. ![Amenities of the property stated saltwater pool was open, but it was not](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0c7be6c4-ef75-45c1-bcfd-1509532b5bde-1756750194662.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![No shower liner, so water was on the bathroom floor when I finished my shower](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22830153-d428-4420-b0df-4a702bc974a0-1756750195014.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Soaking up water because no shower curtain liner was present](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/04395d67-6221-48af-9868-93b18b3f2d3b-1756750195227.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Sheets were clean](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/90fd4331-9f75-492c-a27b-977235fb7a89-1756750195163.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Holly Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hyo-Sil Feb 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The check-in staff is extremely kind, and the room is clean and the view is very nice.

We checked in for a night and to spend the day at the pool. The pool was very dirty. Maybe the filter wasn't working? Garbage, bugs, leaves, hair floating in the pool. Kids floating eating ice cream. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kelly Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Restaurant on property was a disaster.

The property was very noisy. ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Miyoung Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service This isn't my first time staying here. I’ve visited before with my family because I love the lake and have good memories. This time, I made a last-minute reservation to spend some quiet time alone after going through a difficult experience. The hotel seems to be in a similar condition as before, but I was disappointed to find that the walking paths for solo strolls weren’t properly maintained. Most of all, I was frustrated by a billing error in which I was charged twice for an unexpected fee, and even after calling, the issue wasn’t properly resolved. ##### Miyoung Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Asim Apr 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Relaxing, surreal, ##### Asim Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Amy May 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really nice place to stay ##### Amy Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margot Jul 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice property with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. ##### Margot Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lewis Jul 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was a really nice place close to the things to do at the lake great Breakfast and price love the swimming pool and that its opened 24 hours ##### Lewis Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Melvin Dec 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Xmas lights trip 2024 Would stay in main resorr next time just for convenience to pool, restaurants, and gym.
