"The doors must have been installed before the carpeting because they were so tight that I got stuck in the bathroom twice. Could not move the barn door from the inside. Hate barn doors on bathrooms in general!! Very loud party on Friday night right below room. Luckily, we had a white noise machine with us and it really helped!! Otherwise, the hotel was lovely. Great setting right on the lake."
