This is such a cute and unique place.The king bed was new and awesome.check in was sooo easy. Beautiful lake right across the street.Would love to come back when weather is warmer to use the pool.It looks awesome.So glad someone cares enough to revamp old ,instead of tearing down.Much more spacious than most hotels.We will definitely be returning.
