9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)
"Overall the hotel was fine. I appreciated the trails at the lake nearby. My room had a door to an adjoining room. The door had a large gap underneath so I could hear everything happening in the adjoining room. I asked for a new room but they said they were full and could not accommodate me."
