Lakeview is b

The best part of the room is the view. I recommend getting a lake view room.

Up North Charm with a Few Trade-Offs

Location was great, right in the center of everything. Accommodations were nothing special - definitely up north resort without any recent updates. The rooms were decently sized, but beds were uncomfortable. The pool and hot tub area was nice and large enough to avoid feeling crowded with other guests. A little pricey for what the place is, but we had a great time, and the staff was very welcoming.

Nice spot

Great spot right on the lake and perfectly located for the Apple BBQ festival. I wish they had a fire pit on their beach to make up for not being able to camp. Would have completed the Fall experience. In general nice and clean rooms if a little dated. My only real issue is the water in the shower was barley luke warm.
Adam, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is a little dated. But the property was clean, beds comfy, view amazing and the staff fantastic. Would definably book this place again.

Vary nice…friendly staff

3rd floor room overlooking Silver Lake was picturesque…we were pre-visitor season and the town was empty…easy to get around…imagine it’s quite busy by Memorial Day

Beautiful clean rooms, jacuzzi tub was nice, close proximity to the dunes and beach
Aaron, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not worth the price

The beds were absolutely horrible. It was like sleeping on cement. The little fridge was not working and the beach access was not what they portray it to be. I would expect much more for the price we paid. We will not be returning or recommending it to anyone.
Terri, 2-night trip

Michael, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lakeview balcony was a great amenity. Rooms were outdated and didn’t have 1 consistent color scheme. Bed was uncomfortable and the mattress protector was loud like laying on a grocery bag. Front desk staff was very helpful. Hotel was great location. There was no soft screen behind curtains so if you wanted to change in the room you had to completely shut the heavy window curtain which would make the room very dark. Arcade games do not reflect accurately in the photo. Would definitely book again, but for the price it was not 5 stars.
