Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was fantastic, right by the lake, exceeding my expectations. However, the room was a bit worn and distant from the main areas, lacking basic amenities like a refrigerator or microwave. The walls were so thin that noise could be an issue.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right next to the mall and near the bus stop to DC and Baltimore, with a lovely lake view. The rooms, though spacious, took a while to warm up due to the A/C being on the chilly side. The service was top-notch, friendly, professional, and welcoming, making me excited for each visit. The dining options were good, offering a variety of food items. However, the breakfast choices were not as extensive as I hoped for. The facilities were convenient and well-kept.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms definitely need some serious attention as they are extremely outdated, but on the bright side, I managed to get a lake view room, which was a nice touch. Despite the initial hiccup, things were sorted out a little earlier than expected.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious, clean, and perfect for our bridal party and wedding pictures. The service, from the bartenders to the front desk staff, was impeccable. The location was ideal, with easy access to restaurants and local highways. While dining was good, the prices were a bit steep for my liking. Overall, a great experience with friendly staff and a convenient location.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms are updated and spacious, located on the ground floor at the edge of the building. While some parts were old, the overall use was great. The service went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful, although there were some issues switching rooms. The location was nice, especially with a small lake at the back of the property. The dining experience was really good, offering plenty of choices. Overall, a worthwhile stay.
