Not the best place for people in a wheelchair. The pool was not very easy to get to because you had to go to an outside door to get in with a wheelchair. Very friendly staff. The man working the front desk was very helpful and worked hard as he did a little bit of everything

Will choose differently next time
I booked this getaway for my grandson and me. We were all excited about the pool, but when we got there we were sadly disappointed. It was a little run down and not nearly as exciting as the pictures made it out to be. It was very small and only 3.5 feet deep so no really swimming or jumping in. Our room was small and the chair and ottoman were all torn and tattered.

I had booked a suite, furniture was worn out! Toilet wobbled. Asked to change rooms, the next one nicer, but still tired. Heat did not work in one of the rooms. Pool has no towels, hot tub was not working, went down for breakfast, they were late heating up the eggs and sausage in the microwave. Last time I’ll stay there. Used to be such a nice place to stay. New owners. Sad!

Needs an update
We chose this hotel because of the pool, however the pool was not heated at all and was soo cold the kids couldn't swim at all. Our sofa bed had pealing leather and the space was not handicap accessible for my cousin who is disabled. The staff was polite but hard to find at times.

The room was spacious and clean, bed comfortable. The room was freezing when we arrived, the pool area was also very cold as was the water in the pool. Luckily we had little kids who played in the kiddie pool. No towels available so we had to walk to the front desk to get them. Breakfast was passable- nothing spectacular and no one had been in or came in to clean anything up while we were there eating so garbages were overfull and the counters messy etc. the stay was fine, especially for the price, but definitely not impressive in any way.

Some good, a lot of bad, but…..potential
We have stayed at this hotel four times. Each time it is progressively worse. The main day time front desk guy does a really good job. I get that this property is under new ownership, but it is absolutely disgusting. It is hard to get me to complain. I can’t stand people who do, but here goes. Spending $500 at an absolute dump is frustrating. We aren’t the typical rich Okoboji types. We can’t afford a lot of places there. $500 is a lot of money to us. When we checked in, two of the extra pillows for the hide-a-bed that our friend was using were covered in dry blood. I had the front desk get us new ones. The hide-a-bed couch cushions were completely ripped & peeling. The s_it show continued for three days. Hair in the jacuzzi tub, dead bugs all around the tub, the bubbles worked for five minutes, the tub took 30 minutes to fill (No exaggeration.). We thought the bloody pillows couldn’t be beat, but we had the curtains by the back glass door fall down in the middle of the night. It scared us, woke us up, but at this point we weren’t surprised. This too was reported and “fixed.” The hotel is old & gross. It isn’t the cleaning crews fault. With how awful & frustrating it was there is potential if they actually decide to make an effort to renovate it. The restaurant/bar is beautiful and the food is really good! The swimming area with hot tub is huge & great for kids. Let’s see if the new owners care because this place needs a ton of work! Will it remain janky or become swanky?

Weekend stay.
Hotel seemed to be an older building but had been updated. My interaction with staff members was good. Hotel and Room was clean and everything worked. I did not have a chance to visit the restaurant or pool. Bed was not the most comfortable. Overall it was a good experience and I would stay there again.

Room description said “golf course view”. Paid extra for it, had none, but no big deal. Just misleading. Nice room for a reasonable price.
