Nice location right on the lake. The restaurants on site had great food. The tiki bar outside out nice. The rooms were nice but need some updating. The carpets need be replaced. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall, the place was pretty nice: Good location, right at the beach, had an outdoor beach bar, hot tub, pool, room had a gas fireplace. Room was very small. Housekeeping never came during the 3-night stay. The sink was clogged, and had difficulty streaming movies by 9:00pm. Had to change rooms to get better wifi connection.

Machine noise ruined stay

1. I selected pay at hotel, yet the hotel charged first night on my card. Called hotel and they said that’s their policy 2. Tamera at the Sidelines is awesome. 3. Our room had a nice view of the lake but not sure if a/c or some type of machine on the roof that made a loud noise 24/7 so we could not enjoy the balcony or leave the slider open at night.

The front desk person during chek in time was very rude and spoke with attitude. The room we got is in 2nd floor and for both the nights on the 3rd floor they keep jumping on the floor and it resounded on the 2nd floor. This was my worst stay in a hotel

The property is a bit run down and is party hotel. We were traveling with young children and booked a beach front room thinking that would be enjoyable with the kids. However our room was next to the tiki bar that blasts music from around noon until 10pm at night. The crowd is very loud and wild. We tried to keep our children off the balcony because we saw people falling down drunk, puking, get kicked out of the tiki bar and then someone's wallet be stolen out of their back pack on the beach. The bar guests were smoking right outside of room which was really gross to us. We enjoyed the pool more than the beach as it was as wild. The rooms were okay, felt clean enough to sleep in but the walls in the bathroom were pretty gross. No microwave but did have a mini fridge. Overall I would never stay at this property again, there are many other options that are more family friendly in the area. I now remember why we always opt for short term rentals instead of hotels. When I was in my 20's this place would have been fun but not when traveling with kids who need to go to sleep at 8:30pm.

High marks for location and service/friendliness, low for everything else. Rooms are super dated and not well cleaned, shower leaked all over the floor, restaurant bathrooms were appallingly badly maintained, food service and drinks choices were poor. For this price point, would not recommend

it was okay just neede more blankets it was 5 of us and we had to share the blanket witch was small. the hotel was nice but we did have to keep asking for towels they would give us 1 for a family of 5. towel rack at pool was always empty the parking was mostly full because of people going to beach would park in guest parking. instead of actually towing people’s cars that were not guest at the hotel they didn’t care.

Overpriced room in very poor condition. Walked into a room with a very dirty flooring. The room also has a bad smell. Walked into the bathroom and the toilet seat, on both top and bottom, and bowl were stained with human feces. Shower also appeared as it hadn’t been cleaned. After 5 hours of driving with 2 toddlers, I didn’t have the energy to look for a new place to stay or complain to staff. The lobby was always full of people and staff looked overwhelmed as it was. Also, when showering, all the water leaks out of the shower and nearly floods the entire bathroom. I had to use all the provided towels and some to contain the water in the tiny bathroom. Room is very outdated. Not really kid friendly either. You can hear footsteps all around you. Pool are had 0 towel and beach access was littered with trash.

No hot water in our building for three days! They said they were setting up a system for morning showers in the other building but when I went to the desk at 7am to get the key for the shower room the clerk had no idea what I was talking about. Typical for the property. Lots of 'deferred maintenance' and poorly trained staff. They make their money from having a really great location.

Our room was not cleaned, which left us not only with a messy room, but also with full trash cans, no clean towels, no toilet paper, or sand-free floors, and the staff's response was extremely rude and unhelpful. The resort's older, motel-like atmosphere and poor customer service make it a place I would not revisit.

Immediately on entering room, it smelled like cheese. Walls in room were dirty and everyday we rec’d towels that had stains or looked dirty. Pool was clean but no towels and beach was incredibly small. No gym so amenities fee was overpriced for very little to no actual amenities other than parking. Beds were comfortable. Pictures were entirely misleading. Looks nothing like the pictures we saw online on Expedia. Towel rack was broke and shower leaked regularly.
