Convenient and clean.

This hotel is conveniently located on White Lake...and our new favorite spot for our family reunion. Clean, cool, and relaxing. I didn't use the hottub...and not sure if anyone ever really does any more. I would suggest these get removed for additional space...but it is what it is.

The staff and room were excellent, we have previously stayed and really enjoyed it. We were excited to have a view this stay in our deluxe room, and the jet tub was very nice and clean, however the noise was awful. There were a couple of older men that were enjoying a fire a little too much until 1am. When I had asked twice for them to quiet down, we finally had to ask staff for help. Those men proceeded to come inside and were extremely loud right outside our door. Our daughter was up all night, but thank you to the staff for helping. Just very inconsiderate of grown men.

TV was internet only. NO LOCAL Channels. Small place but nice - right on the water. Breakfast had pancake machine and microwavable Jimmy Dean sandwiches, yogurt, breads and hard-boiled eggs. Great coffee! Very small parking lot on site. Additional spots across the street.
