Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were amazing but on the smaller side, and it was quite hot and muggy when we arrived, taking a while to cool down. The breakfast buffet was not free, which was a bit of a letdown. However, the Bond-themed decor was a fun touch, though the lack of a view of the lake was disappointing. Parking was minimal, leading to a long walk to both the room and the breakfast buffet.
The hotel had some drawbacks like the initial hot and muggy room which took a while to cool down and the pricey breakfast buffet at $16 per person. On the upside, the room was comfortable despite a higher noise level than expected for a resort, and the location was beautiful even though it felt a bit isolated in the middle of nowhere.
Bringing our pet to this hotel was a high-end experience. The Commodore's Dining room, however, was rather disappointing and run down with limited activities.
