Did you find this helpful?|They sent us to the Beach House Hotel. It was nice. A good price and a nice view of the lake.These comments are from a verified stay7 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|This hotel was nice. The price I was able to book was incredible for the area. The "water park" was only parcially open. Still nice for the smaller kids. And thankfully it for my daughter's age perfectly. Not sure if the slides and lazy river were down due to restrictions still or not. I didn't ask, as it wasn't a huge deal for us. I did have a slight misunderstanding with the room cost. The amount charged was not the amount booked. However I caught it right away and they did adjust it and apologized right away as well. We bought firewood Friday evening and had a great little fire on the beach area near the water to watch the fireworks. It was great and my daughter loved every minute of it. (You do have to buy your wood at a store, campground or roadside however. They don't sell it at the hotel) I also have had back surgery and found the beds were very comfortable and didn't wake in terrible pain. So that was great for me. All in all I do very much recommend this place to stay.These comments are from a verified stay6 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Great room with an awesome view. Very clean!

My son wanted to hook up his XBox to the TV in the room to play after dark and we had issues because there was no way to change the Input on the TV or on the Spectrum remote. We called the front desk, who called maintenance and he came right over. He was really nice and took care of the issue immediately (just needed the actual TV remote). Would stay there again.These comments are from a verified stay13 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Traveler Reviews (51-100 of 250)-
