Pretty view (if the Canadian wildfires hadn’t cast such a haze over the lake). Beds were very comfy.

Best room we have stayed in. Beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was like a home bathroom, not a normal hotel bath. It seemed brand new and very clean.
Staff were so nice!
Newly remodeled, very clean. Nice views and secluded beach. Desk help didn’t know much about the area ( how to get to the beach across the road, didn’t tell us about steps to get to the casino instead of having to walk on the steep road. Didn’t tell us that we could park in an adjacent parking lot as the lot around the hotel is small and fills up. She was very pleasant.)

We had about 14 rooms for a wedding. The rooms were recently renovated. Comfy beds, nice towels.
The view from bayside rooms gorgeous. It was quiet.
No hairdryers yet
Pump soap at sink would be nice
We would have appreciated a continental breakfast.
All in all it was a pleasant stay for 3 nights.
