Terrace Bay
This was the second time we have stayed here when visiting the area. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. This stay we were in the new section. The room was extremely clean and the lake view was spectacular. However the pillows were small and alittle on the harder side for our liking. Also when the heat/air went on every hour it sounded like there were rocks in the unit.

Bay View Retreat
Super comfortable stay! After staying in hotels all week from traveling, this hotel bed was by far the best! The linens on the bed were nice and thick and comfy! The bed was the perfect mixture of firm and soft! I loved that there was a Keurig with k-cups with the hotels brand on them! It was a nice extra touch! The coffee tasted good as well! The only downside I would say is there are no shelves in the shower to set face wash or your own toiletries on. We also weren’t a fan of hearing the walking around and talking of our neighbors above us. We would stay here again, but would book a suite either on the very top floor or in the other part of the building.

I'd go again
A beautiful newly remodeled hotel. The side we stayed on. When booking make sure you ask for the New Hotel Wing. The old one is not pretty and smells old.
The side we upgraded to was expensive but New. Bed was very hard. But the view was nice and the rest of the room was great! If you want to go out to eat, and can't afford a lot do Not eat in their restaurant, it's extremely expensive, we were ignored most of the time we were there and way Overcharged. Not only that but the food was mediocre at best. It was a pretty dining experience but the food was not and the service was worse... For three people we spent almost $200 and that was not with any drinks only two waters and a soda.
Very expensive restaurant!

The room was beautiful, however we paid extra for a lake view and we got a nice view of the dumpsters instead. The coffee in the lobby was amazing. Other than that it was a nice stay.

Property is still very much under construction so check is awkward and checkin location is well separated from the hotel - so is the dining area - room was clean but friend’s room was less clean, had broken lock and warped floors. Reality certainly did not match the site’s description of their “luxury” property & its amenities - ultimately felt I overpaid

The views are simply incredible - gorgeous rooms, lovely dinner, and awesome coffee all right in one place. We joked we could have spent the entire weekend without leaving the hotel. The complimentary bikes and kayaks are an awesome perk too. Thank you, Terrace Bay!
