"1. Bathroom -Liked the complimentary lotion, hand, shop, shampoo, etc. but helpful if there was sheet of information on the ingredients.
2. Breakfast - Although I didn't use, surprised by the breakfast restaurant. Nice space & meal options like almond milk. Staff person (Sat 7/25) pleasant & very helpful.
3. Room -There was hair on the far wall of the shower.
-The desk had holes in it, maybe from screws & a paper sticker that was partially removed. Not an impressive/neat appearance.
- No written instructions for use of TV. Called front desk around 11 pm or later to assist.
- room definitely provided the bare minimum
- coffee space convenient & nicely set up"
"The front desk staff was kind and efficient. The lake view out our room window was beautiful. The mattresses were comfortable and the air conditioner was quiet."
