    The breakfast lacked taste and options. The food wasn't tasty and lost its appeal right away. I think this place needs to make some better decisions and bring some great tasting food and more fresh options. Everything looked tired or least desirable.

    Laura at the front desk was exceptional! She was so kind and made some excellent suggestions for restaurants in the area. Both of the young women at the front desk were friendly and smiled and were very helpful and pleasant.

    Special breads were too dry and/or pasty. Fruit salad looked like leftovers. Would like to see more yogurt choices. Looks like you are making too much food for our stay during a quiet week. Would be great to be greeted warmly at the entrance to dining. Love the hanging baskets of flowers and all the beautiful flowers on your grounds!!!

    Great breakfast overall for the family with lots of choices. Very nice beverage choices! Great coffee!!! Liked table settings done so nicely! Appreciate variety of seating options outside of our room, especially level 2. Love the rockers outdoors. Enjoyed the lake view!!!

    The room had a wonderful lake view and was very nice and clean. The lake, maid service, front desk, food, location, all staff, available activities, gift shop, etc. all were excellent!

    Nice place on the Lake, low service but high quality breakfast.

    Lots of help but staff tended to talk to each other and it took a long time to get fresh coffee when it ran out at 8:30!! Could have eaten on outside deck but it was hard to get to and staff did not seem to encourage it. Parking is confusing at first, and it's not clear how to get back in to the hotel fromm the lots.

    Breakfast was quite good, buffet style, hot and tasty. Room were big enough and the view was great. No housekeeping services but there was a fridge in the room and a microwave in the hallway near the ice machine so it had everything we needed.

    There are very few food places nearby and things close early. If you are driving and arrive later, you have to go away from the area to find food.

    It is a beautiful view, quiet, relaxing space. All staff were very friendly.

    Parking is a little painful when you are transporting your stuff to / from the room, though they do have trolleys you can use

    Good location, otherwise decent. Would be really nice in the summer as lots of places to go for a walk etc.
