Our hotel stay was fantastic. The facilities were great and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. The breakfast could have been nicer, maybe the volume sitting there caused sogginess in particular the potatoes.

Beautiful property that had everything we needed!
Christan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This hotel should have been updated 20 years ago. They only give Expedia/OTA based guests access to the worst rooms. I asked to be transferred from a room with a true double bed and a twin bed to a king room. Even though one was available, the front desk person said her manager will not approve Expedia guests to transfer to the updated rooms. If you stay, eat dinner in town. The hotel restaurants are mediocre (bad food offset by very good service).

The place to be at the lake

We enjoyed our time at the Lake hotel comfortable great views, nice food and bar and great staff. I would definitely recommend and I would stay again.
Anthony, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Lake Hotel was amazing!

We booked a Deluxe Lake View room and it was unbelievable! I honestly think we had the best room in the hotel with a large picture window in front of the king size bed. The bed was extremely comfortable, especially after a very long hike in the Killarney National Park. The bathroom was high end with a fabulous soaking tub. Breakfast was lovely and the staff was great - especially Joe in the bar who was so caring when I needed ice to tend to a burn on my hand.
