It fit our need. It was a non- smoking room, but it had been smoked in previously. That was evident by the smell.

We had a pet friendly room, which we did not need or request when we checked in there was a dog barking nonstop next door while the people were out of the room. We woke up all stuffy and friend has severe allergies. We were not sure why we had been given that room but they were sold out that night so we were stuck.

The main issue for us was the overwhelming cigarette smell in the lobby and throughout the hotel. There wasn’t a welcome gift but we didn’t expect one. I really liked the size of our room and the layout. Also, I left my iPad and when contacting them they handled it very well and are shipping it to my home soon. The location was nice and the lake pretty. Food from kitchen was very good!

Average place in the middle of nowhere. Used as a base camp for a festival, it was fine for that but everything smelled of stale smoke, even my non smoking room.

This hotel needs a complete overhaul. Even the non-smoking rooms/hallways smell like smoke. The hallway ceiling tiles are yellow, the walls need repairing. Hotel staff was courteous and efficient.

While I stay, the room smell like dog and there was dog poop in the carpet they couldn’t offer me a other room because everything was sold out, never again will I stay there and I’ve been in so many hotels and I have never had that experience.

Our stay was pretty good, rooms were clean and bathrooms clean. The only thing is it was a non smoking room and it smelled like smoke and smelled like smoke all night long. Save your money and eat somewhere else the restaurant was expensive and not worth it and not very good a waste of money.

This unit needs a remodel. The old carpet is smoke filled and dingy looking and the place is dark and the sitting chair in the room was filthy. The hotel is quiet, ice was readily available, and the restaurant served good food.

I was lead to believe the restaurant was open until 10. It closed at 9 which left me with few options because I am on a special diet and there was nothing open in the area. The staff was not helpful.

A lot of walking to swimming pool and to restaurant and casino. Mostly quiet in my room after 10pm. Hotel seemed up to date with bedding, room decor, bathrooms and tv. No coffee pot in room, no continental breakfast. Had to buy coffee. Had to ask for ironing board and iron. The front desk said due to theft. Walls needed painting and lamp shade replaced. Couldnt see the view of the lake. The carts to use for luggage from front desk had signs on them tgat read yiu had to pay $35 to use!

Dog friendly

This is a decent place to stay and we've been here a few times. It's convenient for our travels along 35. Staff is friendly and helpful. We've not eaten in the restaurants so I don't know about them to report. Casino isn't big but it has enough fun slots. We travel with the dog a lot and they are pet friendly now so that is huge for us.
