“This is a full-service hotel that presents an interesting value for the area, particularly with its extensive ballroom and lakeside setting; some aspects, such as the elevator service, could use attention to match the rest of the hotel. With its pet-friendly policy and on-site dining, it stands out as a convenient option for families and business travelers alike, despite some inconsistencies in cleanliness and maintenance. Overall, it's a worthwhile option.”
