Great location but some negatives
Excellent location and very friendly staff. Bed linens were very low quality. Sheets were very scratchy and pillows were horrible. Could use some overall updating.

Upgraded to lake view room, room was very spacious. Bed was comfortable not to soft but for my husband who needs a firmer bed for his back if was ok. Ate at the hotel’s restaurant Calypso, hot honey chicken sandwich with fries was very good so was the pineapple upside down cake with ice cream. Staff were very polite and Jordan our waitress was very helpful with suggestions. Would definitely stay again

We had a wonderful one night stay in the Pelican Suite. Huge room with balcony overlooking lake and pool area. Beautiful view. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were able to checking early. Bar area with fireplace is a beautiful new addition. They are about to redo wall paint and carpet so some of the areas showing a little age will look refreshed Soooo close to square (with nightly music) and restaurants. That was a big plus for us - the walkable area. We did not use hot tub or heated pool but saw people in both and they both looked great. Free coffee in lobby and it was actually really good coffee! Ha. Will definitely stay here again!
