Overall good. Hours of restaurant isn’t ideal. Enhance stay with a breakfast option would be a great bonus for this place. Also, it’s a boating community and they surely don’t seem to be embracing this for their guests with boats. They actually were fairly rude about it and we have a nice boat so it was frustrating to want to stay again for those reasons.

Extra Effort

This property has been renovated & has a modern, clean & luxurious feel. We were only there for a few brief hours to shower & sleep so felt like we probably missed out, but the location is excellent. BUT HUGE SHOUTOUT to the staff. I left my Ipad and the housekeeper turned it in. The front desk staff called me and helped me get it sorted out. They were so nice and helpful and it just says a lot to me about their integrity!!!

Check in process. I understand not getting into a room before 4:00 but I should be able to check in before 4:00. Although I was there before 4:00 and sitting in the lobby, a line started to form at 4:00. I got in line, checked in, went up to the room, unpacked and went downstairs to go out. There was a line out the door waiting to check in. Only one person checking in guests.

It has 9-9 pool hrs so no early or late swimming but with 2 strokes you are across the pool anyway. The room was dark green and black with poor lighting in the main room and bathroom. The breakfast was “Get and go” meaning bottled juice and individually packaged muffins and rolls. There were apples one day and bananas another if you got there before 8 or so and no decaf coffee or hot water but no tea or cocoa anyway. There was no place at all to sit so you had to take it to your room. There is no fitness room. It is close to Arnold’s Park to walk. We would not stay there again. It is not on the water either.

The check in situation was not very professional, we were first greeted with not so friendly customer service and then were not given a specific time the room would be ready due to the room not being ready at our check in time (4 pm). We had an hour late check in and there was no compensation which would have been appreciated due to dinner reservations being messed with due to the late check in time. After we check in though the experience was I would state a normal hotel stay experience.

Looks are deceiving.

Beautiful building and rooms. Personnel tried to be helpful. However, no elevator working ( not for several weeks) but not mentioned until after checkin. Had we known, we would not have stayed here. Breakfast (?), joke. Parking - only 18 slots, most taken up by diners. We usually ended up parking on the street. Chairs in room were attractive but not suitable to sit in for extended lengths of time ( football games). I asked about a military discount for rates and was told the clerk did not know how to access it and so was declined. Overall, not quite the wonderful weekend we had planned.

The property should do a better job of information. No where on the website does it list check in and check out times. My biggest issue was the front desk. I checked in early and was assessed a $50 fee. I was told here are my keys. I was not told about parking. I was told the elevator was broken, I was not told where to find stairs or how to get to my room, not a great first impression. The rooms are well appointed and cozy on a rainy day. The website lists a gym on site.

Amazing hotel right in the heart of Arnold’s Park. The pool is small but it works great for young children. Convenient location! Food is great and staff are very helpful. Would definitely recommend if you’re wanting to kill a few days at the theme park. Only gripe is terrible water pressure in the bathrooms. Seriously, only gripe. Fix that and it’s nearly perfect!

The staff was very friendly and the property was in an excellent location. While it was a newer hotel with really cool decor etc a lot of things were in need of repair. In our room there was a missing towel hook with just the screw sticking out, light fixture between beds was loose and the shower drain did not stay open. Also the AC didn’t seem to be working properly as our room always had a damp feel to it. Bathroom in pool are and lobby were not very clean and also had some hooks etc in need of repair.

Overall, I love the look of the hotel and what they were going for and it’s walkable location but unfortunately it has just not been well maintained.

The location is great - a few steps from the Lake and really close to the Amusement Park. The room was very nice also, but there was only tea available to fix in the room - we like our morning coffee. And breakfast consisted of sweet rolls and mandarines - no cereals - and really no place to eat other than our rooms.

Overall great stay, better than last year in some aspects others not so much. Improvement this year: The pool was clean & usable as well as being stocked with towels and floats. Not so great: one of our bed mattresses had a horrible dip and the restaurant is not open daily.

We would stay again, the hotel is clean and staff courteous. Location is perfect.
