Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a charming beachy feel, but I was a bit disappointed that there were no first-floor rooms due to a gap under the connecting door. The service was exceptional, with flawless attention from the staff, including the manager. The location, although a bit far from the nearest Interstate Highway, was incredibly beautiful and peaceful. The dining experience had some limitations, like only serving certain items on weekends, but overall, it was good. The facilities were great, enhancing my overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The rooms were spacious and clean, offering a great view. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a first-floor room, but the size of the room was larger than expected which was a pleasant surprise. The service was top-notch, with staff being both pleasant and accommodating. The location was stunning, right on the lake with a quiet and relaxing ambiance. Dining options were somewhat limited, but overall, it was a wonderful experience.
The hotel is a great spot with relaxing waterfront views. It's a bit busy with people but offers key points for families. The service is outstanding, especially with thoughtful gestures. The location is amazing, surrounded by Lake Wawasee, though a bit far for some. The dining experience is good but could offer more variety. Overall, a soothing and family-friendly stay.
