"Beautifully updated but the floor space in the room with two queen beds very limited. Designed where space went to the bathroom. Beds pretty much up against the wall. So if you’re sharing a bed be ready to fit through narrow space between the bed and wall or crawl over the person you’re in bed with."

10/10 Excellent
"We had the BEST stay, fro the moment we arrived to the moment we left! Greeted with a complimentary welcome drink of our choice, complimentary s'mores kits at night while sitting around the fire pit. Heated pool and hot tub was perfect for the chilly evenings. Games available in the lobby as well as coffee and water to refill our water bottles. And the most ideal location for South Lake. Walking distance to Heavenly village and lakeside Beach, so you never have to worry about parking. And the cherry on top is that they are dog friendly, weather you bring your fur baby or not, having dogs around makes every place more enjoyable!"

"I love this hotel overall, but the pillows are extremely uncomfortable. My family and I slept poorly and woke up with headaches. The bathrobes were also very wrinkled and looked as though they had been pulled straight from the dryer. A hotel of this caliber should provide comfortable pillows and neatly pressed bathrobes. Everything else was lovely."
