Pros (+) The location was perfect facing the lake and the people working there were friendly.
Cons (-) The washroom had bad smell.
Pros (+) Beds were uncomfortable and we had reservations for the New Years Party, but they didn't have enough tables to seat our party of six. No where did our reservation say you could reserve tables and it had to be a party of 8 or more. When we asked for a refund, we were told first come, first served. No refunds. Will probably not book again. 5$ a day for parking, including handicapped. Seriously?
