This place is worn out and not maintained.

Visited August 2025: The suite was okay, but not special. The deck was poorly maintained and not usable. The whole place was like that. The trout pond was nasty--no fish, dead water, a row boat full of moldy water, a dock that wobbled, and a path that was overgrown from disuse. The breakfast was icky, and the grounds were worn out. The "resort" was probably really nice 75 years ago, but now this is just a seedy old motel. But a very expensive motel.

In need of TLC

Not the cleanest place. Dust ruffle was hanging across the floor and the floor was not clean. The walkway outside our door is crumbling apart. The tv volume is set to only go very low and is far across the room. The internet is awful. The bed was actually very comfortable. The place could use some TLC!

The property has potential but needs lots of maintenance done. The mattress in our room was so uncomfortable I resorted to sleeping on the couch.

Friendly staff. Good location to walk to restaurants and park w bike trail. No restaurant or bar operating currently as shown in listing. First room was tired, door to deck jammed, no screen. Deck furniture dirty, couldn’t use. Moved us to another room that was better, spacious ADA king suite w view from deck of fireworks. Breakfast was partially defrosted baked goods and prepackaged fruit cups. We found good bakeries nearby and made our own breakfast in room.

This hotel is outdated but the staff are okay. For the price I have paid it is not worthy it. I don’t blame for the hotel but I definitely overpaid via hotels.com because the receipt I got from the hotel was way much cheaper than I have booked on hotels.com.
