8/10 Good
"Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The property was not what I had expected it seemed rather isolated. There was no walking along the lakeshore it is just the beach in front of the hotel. When I went to the desk to ask for a second key I was told they were out of keys and also there was no soap, I feel like this is something that should never happen at a hotel. The pizza we ordered at the restaurant was very good! However the service was not great and even after remaking the pizza the order was not correct. Overall the stay was fine, but based on this visit would not make a point to return."
